The Ukrainian Air Force carried out two drone strikes on Russian targets using Turkish-made drones.
Lieutenant General Mykola Oleshchuk, head of the Ukrainian Air Force, confirmed that they were using the Bayraktar TB2 drone.
The Ukrainian embassy released footage of the Russian convoy showing dozens of vehicles blown to pieces in the attack.
The footage was taken near the town of Malyn, about 60 miles northwest of Kyiv. The Air Force said that one of the attacks took place in the city of Chornobaivka, in southern Ukraine.
The area has been the focus of intense fighting in recent days.
On Saturday (26/2), Ukrainian forces released another drone video showing a Russian convoy hit by a drone strike, this time in the southern city of Kherson.
The first shipments of Turkish-made drones began arriving in Ukraine in 2019, the Wall Street Journal reports. The Bayraktar TB2 is capable of staying in the air for 25 hours at an altitude of 25,000 feet with the pilot able to control it from several hundred miles away.
Unmanned drone technology worth USD 5 million per unit is quite sophisticated and a pride for Turkey, where quite a lot of countries are interested and ordered it.
