Ukrainian drones mine all escape routes before massed FPV follow-on attack near Lugansk

Published 7 November 2026

A Russian account from near Lugansk describes a documented Ukrainian combined-arms drone tactic: three UAVs first circled a Russian unit’s position and dropped roughly 200 HFM 0040 pressure-activated anti-personnel mines and at least three ‘Verba’/‘Grusha’ electromagnetic-sensor fragmentation mines across every likely evacuation corridor. Only after the exits were seeded did a swarm of approximately 15–17 ‘Luty’ FPV strike drones press the attack, trapping personnel in prepared kill zones. The HFM 0040 pressure mine is described as showing design influence from the Soviet PFM-1.
