Ukrainian Drone Targets Russian Soldiers on Horseback
In a recent video shared by the Ukrainian Army, drones were used to target Russian soldiers who were moving on horseback.
The footage shows a drone locking onto a Russian soldier and then striking him as he tried to escape.
Another soldier on horseback was also targeted, causing the horse to fall and the soldier to be left behind.
Ukraine has been using drones a lot in the war because they don't have as many soldiers.
The drones help them watch the front line and attack the enemy from above.
Russia has also been trying different ways to move around without being targeted by drones, like using motorcycles.
Meanwhile, there have been attacks on Russian military officials, including a car bomb that killed a general in Moscow.
