A new video shows how the Ukrainian military has trapped attack marches by hanging bullets on them before sending them to their targets.
And the Nexta channel posted a video on its Twitter page on Sunday that shows a Ukrainian soldier hanging a missile on a drone.
In this video, a Ukrainian soldier attaches an 82 mm mine, which weighs about 3 to 4 kilograms, to a commercial quadcopter. The rupture of this ammunition gives about 600-400 shrapnel and also ensures the defeat of manpower in a radius of more than 60 meters. pic.twitter.com/oGr5slCn1d

Explaining this video, Nexta said: The Ukrainian army suspends an 82 mm bullet weighing about 3 to 4 kg on a commercial quadcopter.
He added: The explosion of this ammunition (bullet) produces about 400 to 600 shrapnel, which guarantees the defeat of soldiers in a radius of more than 60 meters.
On the other hand, the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine and Minister of Digital Transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, announced the creation of the first army (drone) in the world at the beginning of July.
Fedorov said on Twitter that the announcement was made jointly with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

He added: “The primary goal is to buy 200 drones that will save human lives and help the fight.”
He asked the Ukrainian authorities to donate this money to buy planes or those who have drones to send them to the army.
It is worth noting that Ukraine has acquired drones from several countries, including American kamikaze planes and Turkish Bayraktar.
Long-range kamikaze drones are a new threat to Russia, and they can travel hundreds of miles and are small enough to evade Russian air defenses designed to detect and engage combat aircraft and missiles.
Russia’s biggest concern is that Ukraine can build such planes cheaply and easily. Commercial bodies, engines and steering systems can be purchased and assembled without much technical expertise.
For example, if it hits a fuel tank or catches fire on a ship at sea, it can cause millions of dollars in damage.
Depending on the final cost of the plane, it could be cheaper than the missiles Russia would use to shoot it down.
