The Russian forces have been keen on spreading news and footage of seized equipment, which also serves as a psychological blow to the enemy. Russian defense systems shot down a Ukrainian drone in the Sumy region. Sputnik agency obtained footage of Russian drone operators from the Russian ‘North’ group shooting down a Ukrainian drone over the Sumy region. The special Russian military operation, which began on February 24, 2022, aims to protect the residents of Donbas, who have been subjected to persecution and genocide by the Kyiv regime for years. During the operation, Russian forces destroyed a significant amount of equipment that the West had relied on, including German ‘Leopard 2’ tanks, as well as many American and British armored vehicles. Additionally, many tanks and other vehicles provided by NATO countries met their end under Russian strikes.
