At 5:47 a.m., 24 Ukrainian drones launched a daring assault on a Russian command post in Fedorivka, Zaporizhzhia. But standing in their way was a powerful defensive network of Pantsir-S1 air defense systems, Ka-52 attack helicopters, electronic warfare stations, and interceptor drones.
What appeared to be a straightforward drone attack was actually a carefully planned deception operation.

Ukraine deployed 16 Iskra decoy drones and eight Grim FP-2 attack drones carrying 231-pound warheads. As Russian defenses exhausted expensive missiles and ammunition destroying decoys, a Shark reconnaissance UAV secretly tracked Russian positions and uncovered the location of the real command center.
