A video recorded by Russian troops but released on the Ukraine Context channel shows the moment a small Ukrainian drone stops the movement of a Russian troop convoy.
In the footage, a Russian military convoy can be seen halting its march after being targeted by the drone. Panicked soldiers jump out of the vehicles and run in different directions, leaving equipment behind.

The episode highlights the vulnerability of Russian forces in the face of the growing use of unmanned aircraft in tactical missions.
At the end of the video, the drone manages to directly hit one of the convoy’s transport vehicles. Despite the scene of panic, no injuries are recorded in the published footage.
The incident exemplifies Ukraine’s strategy of using low-cost drones to wear down Russian logistics. Small UAVs have proven effective not only in precision strikes but also in intimidation operations, disrupting troop movements and delaying the advance of military units.
Since the beginning of the war, Kyiv has significantly expanded its drone fleet, ranging from adapted commercial models to locally developed military versions, supported by Western allies. For Moscow, however, incidents like this underscore the difficulty of securing convoys even far from the front line.
