A video recently circulated on social media shows dramatic new strikes attributed to Ukrainian special forces on the eastern bank of the Dnipro River in the Russian military-controlled part of the Kherson region.

The video, which is a compilation of several strikes by Ukrainian forces, again shows that in some situations Kyiv’s drones can operate seemingly unimpeded, descending close enough to the ground to closely monitor Russian forces.

According to information circulating on social networks, these strikes were allegedly carried out by Ukrainian special forces, which at the end of January at night forced the Dnipro and destroyed several Russian positions in the Kherson region before retreating – an operation worthy of militants. .

The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine stated at the time that the night raid was actually a reconnaissance of the positions of Russian troops in Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson region, occupied by invasion troops since February last year, in the first days of the war started by Vladimir Putin.

Another video, which appeared on social networks on March 21, also shows Ukrainian gunners firing at a roadblock at the entrance to Oleshki, a Kherson city that had about 25,000 residents before the war began on February 24 last year.

While the target chosen for this strike was not particularly specific, and the attack itself was impressive, the footage in question also showed how Ukrainian forces’ unmanned aerial vehicles can, in some cases, operate well behind enemy lines.

At the same time, she confirms that, although all public attention is currently focused on the fighting in the Bakhmut direction in the Donetsk region, Ukrainian troops continue to strike at other areas of the front. The Ukrainian military announced the destruction of the Russian observation post and command post in Oleshki at the beginning of March.

Then, on March 23, another video, also shot by the Ukrainians from a drone in Kherson, showed them using the drones to launch hand grenades at a group of Russian soldiers as they prepared to go on a boat ride.

These strikes are most likely aimed at undermining the morale of the Russian military stationed on the east bank of the Dnieper, while most military analysts believe that Kyiv’s long-awaited spring offensive will not take place here due to logistical issues. the difficulty of crossing the river and the strong defensive positions built by the Russians on its banks.
