Russian forces reportedly used the new 'F-1' interceptor drone for the first time, with soldiers from the Central Group of Forces' anti-aircraft missile brigade destroying over 20 Ukrainian drones in four days. Among the targets were PD-2, Rubaka, Bliskavka, and Anubis drones.

The use of the 'F-1' reportedly allows for effective engagement of enemy drones on approach, preventing them from reaching their combat course. The drone operators work in close coordination with air surveillance posts and radar stations to ensure timely detection and destruction of aerial targets.
