“The birds of the 1st SBS JTF inflicted a massive defeat on the lair of storage, equipment and preparation of Shahed/Geran launches in the DAP (Donetsk, TOT) on the night of December 30. The operation was developed by the intelligence directorate of the 414th separate battalion “Magyars’ Birds” of the Armed Forces of Ukraine together with the newly created center of deep destruction of the Unmanned Systems Forces Group,” the commander said.

According to him, a “courtesy visit” was made to the Geranium/Shahed UAV logistics hub, pre-flight training and maintenance center for Geranium/Shahed and Gerbera drones. The central warehouse of combat units for these attack drones and the storage warehouse of the Gerbera UAV were also damaged.
