A Ukrainian reconnaissance drone of the Shark model, operated by the Shadow unit, located a Russian Navodchik-2 UAV system and coordinated artillery strikes against it.
During the operation, kamikaze drones struck the system’s control station, which caught fire. Russian soldiers tried to extinguish the flames but were hit by a projectile, possibly fired by a HIMARS system, resulting in casualties among enemy troops.
The multiple drone explosions and damage caused by rocket shrapnel left the Russian station severely damaged, likely out of operation. A video of the attack was released by the Ukrainian unit on social media, showing details of the offensive.
The Navodchik-2 system’s main component is the control station, responsible for commanding UAV flights, processing collected data, and transmitting it to command and control systems. It operates with four drone models from the Granat series, ranging from light, portable, short-range versions (Granat-1 and 2) to heavier versions with longer autonomy (Granat-3 and 4), used to support artillery and multiple rocket launcher operations.
