Ukraine takes out one of Russia's most feared drone aces, say reports
- Ukraine has successfully taken out a feared Russian FPV drone operator, say reports.
- Operator "Moisey" and his team have been blamed for inflicting heavy casualties on Ukrainian forces.
Ukrainian defense forces have eliminated one of the most formidable Russian First-Person-View (FPV) drone operators, known by the call sign "Moisey" or "Moses," in the bitter fighting around the Dnipro River, Forbes reports.
Reports from various sources, including messages posted by Moisey's wife, confirm the successful operation against the feared drone ace.Moisey, widely regarded as one of Russia's top FPV operators, is credited with causing a large number of casualties in addition to sinking numerous Ukrainian boats in the Dnipro.
His last communication, shared a few days ago, ominously stated, "It's hell in Krynky."The Ukrainian defense forces, faced with persistent attacks on small boats supplying the Krynky bridgehead, carried out an elaborate plan to take out Moisey and his drone team. A Ukrainian drone team, led by drone ace "Balu," successfully hunted down Moisey's team.This week, there were unconfirmed reports that Ukraine used US-supplied HIMARS to strike a group of Russian drone pilots who had assembled for training in the occupied part of the Donetsk region, eastern Ukraine.
