**Ukrainian Drone Destroys Russian Counterpart**
A Ukrainian drone has destroyed a Russian drone in the first recorded incident of its kind. The Russian drone was controlled by fiber–optic, making it harder to detect and destroy.
**How It Happened**
The Ukrainian drone operator from the 68th Separate Oleksa Dovbush Jaeger Brigade detected the Russian drone moving towards Ukrainian equipment. The Ukrainian pilot quickly maneuvered to intercept the enemy drone and successfully destroyed it with an attack from above.
