Bottom line

Russian 61st Marine Brigade drone crews strike Ukrainian positions in Dobropillya, DPR.

Why it matters

The use of drone units by Russian marine brigades for tactical support and encirclement operations highlights the integration of unmanned systems into combined arms tactics.

Russian 61st Marine Brigade drone crews conducted strikes against Ukrainian temporary deployment points and fire positions in Dobropillya, Donetsk People’s Republic. The drones also prevented breakout attempts by Ukrainian 4th and 15th National Guard brigades from encirclement. This demonstrates the use of Russian drone units for tactical support and encirclement operations.
