The unit's commander, Lt Col Yaroslav Honchar, said the small team of 30 drone operators and special forces was able to halt the column's advance in a series of night ambushes.

Not all the details of these claims could be independently verified, but US defence officials have said that Ukrainian attacks contributed to the halting of the armoured column. The amount of aerial combat footage published by Ukrainian forces underlines the importance of drones to their resistance
