What does a «Raid» operator feel when guiding a drone toward a Russian infantryman? Sometimes excitement: «First one down, where are the next ones?» Sometimes relief, when they manage to hit the target on the last percentage of battery life. Or for a split second, a thought arises: «What kind of Zasransk did he come from?» But there is never any pity. Because these are executioners, looters, and murderers. And there is no place for them on our land. The video shows combat footage of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment operators.

We will get them anywhere! This time, the military infrastructure and concentration of personnel at the «Vostochny» training ground of the Russian occupation forces came under the strike of the 413th Unmanned Systems Forces (USF) «Raid» Regiment operators. The strike was carried out in cooperation with colleagues from other USF units. This facility is located near the village of Novopetrivка, Berdiansk district, in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region. It is one of the training grounds where the occupiers are conducting accelerated training of «march reinforcements» for assaults. We separately note the masterful hit on a MANPADS crew that unsuccessfully attempted to repel the attack of our drones. This highlights the strike precision provided by mid-range strike assets from the domestic manufacturer Fire Point.

«Raid» spectacularly demolished an enemy regiment’s headquarters Operators of the 413th «Raid» Regiment of the Unmanned Systems Forces destroyed the headquarters of the 91st Rifle Regiment of the Russian Federation’s 29th Army with several strikes by middle strike class drones. The enemy had positioned this facility in the ruins of civilian buildings in the village of Mykilske in the Donetsk region, more than 50 km from the line of contact. Previously, «Raid» had repeatedly struck facilities belonging to other units within the 29th Army of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, including logistics and supply depots and temporary deployment points.

Russian air defense experiences difficulties with intercepting Ukrainian UAVs. Therefore, they easily reach their targets. This is how the commander of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment, Major Yevhen Karas, commented to the BBC on Ukrainian «long-range sanctions» against military and energy facilities in St. Petersburg and its surroundings. 💬«We fly in Russia as if on our own territory. Almost without resistance, reaching the target is not difficult», BBC journalists quote Yevhen Karas. He added that resistance from Russian air defense is not felt during operations in occupied Crimea either. 💬«And this looks like a very encouraging forecast for the future regarding what we can do in the occupied territories or on the territory of Russia to force Putin to stop the war», said the commander of «Raid». The BBC noted that during the June 6 attack, which Russian authorities called «unprecedented», Ukrainian UAVs traveled about 1,000 km and struck military facilities, including arsenals and the Russian fleet base in Kronstadt. Meanwhile, drones operated by the 413th «Raid» Regiment struck the «Neste» oil terminal in the city of Lomonosov.

🚂💥 Did you like how «Raid» struck two locomotives in Crimea? We did too. So, we continue! On the territory of the Bryansk region of the Russian Federation, near the settlement of Pantusov, operators of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment struck a locomotive that the enemy used to transport military cargo. The strike was delivered approximately 40 km from the state border of Ukraine. This is already the third enemy locomotive struck by «Raid» operators in the last four days. Earlier, they struck two locomotives supporting military logistics in the eastern part of temporarily occupied Crimea on the Dzhankoi – Kerch railway branch. The consequence of this and other locomotive strikes was the «temporary suspension» of passenger train traffic across all of Crimea starting June 8.

📢 Operational summary❗️ Results of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment's operations for the period 01.06–07.06.2026. Our operators have credited 402 strikes on enemy targets.

The Washington Post – one of the most influential publications in the US – has published a major piece on how Ukrainian drones stopped the Russian offensive and, for the first time in two years, helped reclaim more territory than the enemy captured. Among the featured figures in the publication is the commander of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment, Major Yevhen Karas. He was the one standing at the origins of the first UAV strikes deep into the enemy rear back in 2022. Today, the «Raid» Regiment delivers drone strikes at a distance of up to 1,000 km – and the tally of hit targets reaches hundreds every month. Karas does not hide his confidence: the number of strikes will only continue to grow, and Russia has no idea what awaits it in the coming months.

«Raid» is at the top of the Delta rating for detected targets In May 2026, the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment ranked 2nd among all units of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in the number of electronic points scored in the aerial reconnaissance category within the Delta situational awareness system. This marks the third consecutive month that «Raid» has been among the country's most effective units: in March and April 2026, the regiment held 1st place in the aerial reconnaissance category. For reference: electronic points are awarded for detecting high-value enemy targets at a distance of over 15 km from the line of contact. This primarily includes air defense systems and radars, self-propelled guns, armored vehicles, and MLRS. All detected objects are verified in Delta and serve as the basis for further strikes.

💥 A "Raid" operator flew BETWEEN the wires of a high-voltage power line to strike a locomotive ​We were simply checking the documents of the Russian railway workers who were providing military logistics in occupied Crimea. We found no papers granting the train drivers the right to operate such transport on the territory of Ukraine. Therefore, we forced their trains to a halt. ​In total, two locomotives were hit. ​This took place in the eastern part of the peninsula, near the settlements of Razdolne and Vladyslavivka — on the railway branch leading from Dzhankoi to Kerch, and further to the Crimean Bridge.

Ukrainian Defense Forces Strike on St. Petersburg and Kronstadt: Key takeaways On the morning of June 3, the Ukrainian Defense Forces launched a drone attack on an oil terminal in St. Petersburg and the «Kronstadt» naval base — located over 1,100 km from the Ukrainian border. This occurred against the backdrop of the opening of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) — Russia's premier economic platform, where Vladimir Putin is scheduled to speak on June 5. Arriving foreign delegations witnessed skies blanketed in thick black smoke extending for dozens of kilometers around. Beyond direct economic damage to Russia, the operation carries significant military and political ramifications. Details of the Strike The attack utilized drones from the Ukrainian manufacturer Fire Point, which have already proven their effectiveness during previous strikes against Russian refineries, oil depots, and military-industrial complex facilities. The «St. Petersburg» oil terminal, with a throughput capacity of 10 million tons per year, was hit. It is crucial for petroleum product exports and directly supplies the Russian army's needs. Additionally, drones operated by the Unmanned Systems Forces of the AFU struck the corvette «Boykiy» (Project 22380 «Steregushchiy»), which was sitting in a dry dock in Kronstadt. The «Boykiy» carries Kh-35U anti-ship missiles, as well as anti-aircraft and artillery systems, and was commissioned into the fleet in 2013. Given its dimensions, the ship can be classified as a light frigate — making it a major surface combatant. Russia routinely deployed the «Boykiy» for operations near NATO borders and to escort shadow fleet tankers under international sanctions. Military Significance of the Operation St. Petersburg is a critical political and economic center for the Russian Federation, while the «Kronstadt» naval base serves as the heart of the Russian Navy's Baltic Fleet. Situated on Kotlin Island, it guards the maritime approaches to St. Petersburg. The Baltic Fleet acts as a Russian military outpost on the western border with NATO, and a portion of its surface ships and submarines are capable of carrying tactical nuclear weapons. Both locations should have been protected by air defenses that are, if not on par with Moscow, then close to it. For this purpose, assets from both the fleet and the entire Leningrad Military District, including aviation, are available. The Ukrainian drones traveled toward their targets through the entire night, giving the Russian military ample time to detect and intercept them. Yet, the Russian army proved incapable of defending such a critical axis. Political Dimension The political aspect is tightly intertwined with the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, which kicked off on the exact day of the drone raid. SPIEF is a venue where the Russian leadership attempts to project a «humane» face to foreign elites and solidify relations with sympathetic international circles. The Kremlin positions it as the «Russian Davos» — though it features only one true «rock star»: Vladimir Putin. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, foreign nations began a mass boycott of the forum, leading to attendance by representatives of the Taliban instead. In 2026, Russia has attempted to restore the forum's former prestige. For the first time since 2022, a delegation from the United States was expected to attend, alongside highly promoted announcements by Putin. However, the strike by Ukrainian drones — the aftermath of which was clearly visible to foreign delegations — proves that Putin lacks control over the situation, even in the city where his political career began. The Repeatedly Battered Baltic Fleet This marks the first attack by the Ukrainian Defense Forces against «Kronstadt», the main base of the Baltic Fleet. However, it is far from the fleet's first losses in the Russo-Ukrainian War. Russia has consistently deployed Baltic Fleet marines to the invasion of Ukraine to serve as standard infantry. Specifically, the Baltic Fleet's 336th Marine Brigade was heavily committed and sustained severe casualties. Back in April, operators of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment struck the command and observation post of one of the battalions belonging to the 336th Brigade, 120th Marine Division of the Russian Baltic Fleet.

Sometimes among the strikes on Russian equipment, there are truly special ones 💥 When it «burns and blazes» with a particular spark. When you can feel the pure joy with which the drone flew straight into the cabin. And you can see how the crew of the enemy vehicle shared this very joy. We bring to your attention one of such moments from the operators of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment.

💥 «Raid» destroys the military infrastructure of the occupiers! Operators of the 413th USF «Raid» Regiment conducted a comprehensive strike against facilities in the operational rear of the Russian occupation forces in the Donetsk region. The targets hit include: ▪️ a material and technical support (MTS) depot of the 36th Motorized Rifle Brigade and other units of the 29th Russian Army in the vicinity of Buhas and Novoselivka; ▪️ an MTS depot of the 51st Russian Army (the former «1st Army Corps» of the occupiers in Donetsk), in the vicinity of Dokuchaievsk; ▪️ MTS depots and a temporary deployment point (TPD) of the 2nd Battalion, 155th Marine Brigade, 55th Marine Division of the Russian Pacific Fleet, in the vicinity of Syhnalne. The points of these strikes intersect significant railway and road routes. This means that vital logistical hubs, where the enemy accumulated manpower and resources for further offensive actions, came under fire. It is worth noting that part of these strikes was carried out on the territory of Donbas, which has been occupied by the Russians since 2014.

Operation «Spiderweb»: Aftermath and conclusions one year later One year ago, on June 1, 2025, the Security Service of Ukraine conducted a unique operation code-named «Spiderweb», which disabled 34% of the Russian Federation's entire long-range aviation fleet — including Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 cruise missile carriers, A-50 airborne early warning and control (AEW&C) aircraft, and Il-78 aerial refueling tankers. Its uniqueness lies both in the scale of the enemy's losses and the format of its execution: semi-trucks carrying disguised strike FPV drones pulled up directly to the main airbases of the Russian Federation's strategic aviation, including «Engels», «Olenya», and «Belaya», striking the aircraft from literal «pistol» distance. Data subsequently emerged in the public domain indicating that «Osa» FPV drones from First Contact were utilized for the strike, distinguished by an exceptionally rugged frame and an AI-based guidance system. What can be said for certain now: • The Russians tried in every possible way to conceal the scale of their losses — because this represents a critical blow to their strategic aviation, which formally accounts for a third of the Russian Federation's nuclear arsenal. However, data leaked into the public domain showing that the Russian Federation lost up to 15 Tu-95MS strategic bombers, or a quarter of the entire available fleet of these aircraft. This reduced the employment of Tu-95MS bombers for strikes against Ukraine by at least 20–30%. The deployment of Tu-22M3 bombers after «Spiderweb» became a true rarity — occurring at a pace of «once every six months». This is clearly a direct consequence of the losses sustained during operation «Spiderweb». • The SSU roughly estimated the enemy's damages at $7 billion. But it is not even about the money: the Russian Federation is incapable of manufacturing new Tu-95MS and Tu-22M3 bombers. Therefore, any losses of such aircraft are completely irreplaceable for the aggressor. • «Spiderweb» also served as a distinct warning to the United States. The execution of such an operation demonstrates that American strategic aviation could similarly be disabled by simple FPV drones equipped with artificial intelligence. Consequently, this factor made the experience of the Ukrainian Defense Forces exceptionally valuable. • And finally, «Spiderweb» became a unique prologue to the integration of artificial intelligence into the ongoing war of drones.
