Fighters from Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces and the Azov 1st Corps of the National Guard destroyed a command post and base used by the Russian FSB’s Mobile Operations Directorate in occupied Donetsk on April 22, Unmanned Systems Forces commander Robert “Magyar” Brovdi said on April 23.

He said Ukrainian forces carried out eight FP-2 drone strikes, which, according to intelligence, killed 12 Russian officers and wounded 15 others.

The FP-2 is a drone developed by the Ukrainian company Fire Point, which also makes the Flamingo missile. It has a range of up to 200 kilometers, less than the previous FP-1 model’s 1,400-kilometer range, but carries a larger warhead weighing 60 to 100 kilograms.

Magyar said the Russian FSB’s Mobile Operations Directorate is an operational special unit within the agency’s counterintelligence service that carries out counterintelligence missions, sabotage and special operations.

He added that the unit is also involved in setting up agent networks, searching for and detaining citizens deemed disloyal, eliminating opponents and coordinating pro-Russian militants.

“Across the territory of Ukraine — recruitment work, agent networks, carrying out terrorist attacks, sabotage, arson and so on,” Magyar added.

On April 23, the General Staff of Ukraine’s Armed Forces said Russia had lost the following over the previous day in its war against Ukraine:

  • three tanks
  • five armored combat vehicles
  • 58 artillery systems
  • three multiple launch rocket systems
  • one air defense system
  • 1,941 operational-tactical drones
  • 202 vehicles and fuel tankers
  • two pieces of special equipment
