SBS operators have been proactive.

In the Donetsk direction, operators of the 1st separate center of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Force detected enemy crews while preparing to launch Gerbera-type UAVs. With an accurate strike, the launch of the drones, which the Russian Federation uses against civilians, was thwarted.

According to the official SBS Telegram channel, at the same time, pilots of the 413th SBS "Raid" regiment tracked down and hit a Russian Tor anti-aircraft missile system.

The Gerbera UAV is a relatively new development by the occupiers, which they often use as false targets to deplete Ukrainian air defenses or for reconnaissance.
