Ukraine's 3rd Assault Brigade Destroys Russian Attack Near Svatove

What may be most significant about this engagement is that Ukraine appears to have spread FPV attack drone units throughout its major combat brigades and that they are performing at a high level. 

Coordination between the drone units and other armored, anti-tank and artillery battalions is also notable. JL
