Russian FPV operators claim 24/7 control over Sloviansk-Kramatorsk

Bottom line

Russian Southern Group FPV operators claim 24/7 control over the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, penetrating shelters and burning tech.

Why it matters

Ukrainian forces in the Donbas may need to enhance counter-FPV measures and shelter hardening to mitigate the impact of persistent Russian FPV operations, which could degrade Ukrainian command and control and logistics capabilities.

Russian Southern Group FPV operators claim to have established 24/7 control over the Sloviansk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, stating they are penetrating Ukrainian shelters and destroying technical equipment. While no Ukrainian evasion tactics have been reported, these claims are typical of Russian milblogger assertions and should be viewed with caution. The claim highlights the intense pressure on Ukrainian defenses in the Donbas region and the perceived effectiveness of persistent FPV surveillance and strikes.
