Russian FPVs claim strict air control in Siversk-Kramatorsk

Bottom line

Russian FPV operators from the Southern Group of Forces claim strict air control over the Siversk-Kramatorsk agglomeration, stating drones penetrate shelters and kill infantry.

Why it matters

If accurate, this suggests Russian FPV units have developed effective tactics for operating in heavily defended urban areas, potentially neutralizing Ukrainian defensive positions and shelters. Ukrainian forces should reassess their counter-EW and shelter hardening measures in this sector.

Ukrainian open-source channels report that Russian FPV drone operators from the Southern Group of Forces claim to have established strict air control over the Siversk-Kramatorsk area. The operators assert that their drones can penetrate underground shelters, kill infantry, and burn equipment, indicating a high level of operational proficiency and potentially effective counter-UAS or EW tactics.
