Ukrainian Video Shows FPV Drones Hitting Mounted Russian Soldiers

Analysts describe a localized improvisation, not a return to cavalry.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s 92nd Separate Assault Brigade posted a Telegram video that it says shows drones striking two Russian soldiers riding horses or mules.
  • The unit claims Russia is turning to mounts after heavy equipment losses in costly assault operations, with at least one animal in the footage appearing wounded.
  • Stern reports the location has not been independently verified, with some analysts suggesting southern Dnipropetrovsk as a possible area.
  • Coverage places the clip in a wider pattern of low‑tech mobility, including horses, pack animals, motorcycles, quads, e‑bikes, and scooters used where vehicles are exposed to drones.
  • tz.de cites earlier reports that a Russian brigade prepared mounted storm troops for Donetsk, while observers stress these are small, pragmatic movements vulnerable to cheap FPV drones.
