Ukraine moves SAMs forward to intercept Gerans; FPV drones destroy the exposed positions

Published 27 June 2026

Russian analysts note a Ukrainian tactical shift: SAM systems are being positioned closer to the front line to extend the interception belt against low-altitude Geran strikes before they reach rear-area targets. The forward deployment widens coverage but exposes the SAMs themselves to FPV attack. At least one Ukrainian SAM position in Kharkiv Oblast was destroyed by a Russian FPV drone after its forward location was identified, illustrating the compounding risk the tactic creates.
