Russian Spetsnaz Vega destroys Baba Yaga drones and NRTK logistics robots

Bottom line

Russian Spetsnaz 'Vega' unit reports destroying 20 heavy multirotor 'Baba Yaga' drones and 4 NRTK logistics robots near Dobropillya, disrupting Ukrainian supply lines.

Why it matters

Highlights the increasing use of heavy multirotor drones and logistics robots by Ukrainian forces for rear-area supply, and Russian special operations' capability to target these high-value, lower-mobility assets.

Russian milbloggers claim that the Spetsnaz ‘Vega’ unit successfully destroyed 20 heavy multirotor ‘Baba Yaga’ drones and 4 NRTK logistics robots near Dobropillya. The reported destruction of these specific assets suggests a targeted effort to disrupt Ukrainian rear-area logistics and heavy drone operations, rather than just frontline FPV engagements.
