According to the report, Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces say they destroyed Russian infantry numbers equivalent to two battalions in just two days in Donetsk Oblast. Most of the losses occurred in Donetsk Oblast in eastern Ukraine, where Russian forces have been trying to seize the remaining territory for months. Brovdi reported that SBS drone units struck about 505 Russian infantrymen on 11 December alone. Alongside the dedicated drone forces branch, the Ukrainian army and special services have their own drone units.
The report also stated that the drone force commander said these losses were inflicted only by external SBS drone pilots and did not include the actions of other Ukrainian Defense Forces units. He added that the Phoenix unit within the SBS grouping accounted for 109 of those Russian losses during the same day. A day earlier, on 10 December, Brovdi reported that SBS drones hit another 471 Russian infantrymen. He said this figure also corresponds to the combat strength of a battalion.
The report added that Russia's 76th Guards Air Assault Division, redeployed in Donetsk Oblast, reportedly suffered the heaviest losses under Ukrainian drone strikes, according to Brovdi. SBS data show an average of 282 Russian soldiers hit per day in November, rising to 395 per day during the first 11 days of December. The Russian manpower is now a priority task for Ukraine’s Defense Forces.
