In a groundbreaking operation in the Kharkiv region, soldiers of the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out a successful assault and captured Russian invaders without deploying infantry, relying solely on drones and ground robotic systems.

According to Ukrinform, the brigade shared details of the operation via Telegram.

“For the first time in history, occupiers have surrendered to the ground robots of the 3rd Assault Brigade! No infantry, no casualties. The brigade executed an unprecedented operation — attacking and clearing enemy positions in the Kharkiv region and capturing enemy troops using only drones and ground robotic platforms,” the statement reads.

Enemy fortifications were initially targeted by FPV drones and kamikaze ground robots. As another robot approached a destroyed bunker, a Russian soldier surrendered to avoid detonation. The surviving invaders were then guided to Ukrainian lines by drones and taken prisoner according to protocol.

“Positions that had withstood multiple attempts by neighboring units were successfully cleared thanks to the precise assault actions of our robotic systems. Our forces have now secured the cleared fortifications and surrounding tree lines,” the brigade added.

“This is the first confirmed successful assault in modern warfare carried out entirely by unmanned platforms,” the brigade said.
