Reports accompanying the footage suggest the targeted assets were advanced radar systems, potentially representing a significant financial and strategic loss for Ukraine, valued in the millions of dollars. The strikes occurred near the town of Borzna in Chernihiv Oblast.
The Russian military has been actively employing drone technology, including variants of the Geran-2 (an evolution of the Iranian Shahed-136), in its ongoing operations in Ukraine. The reported strikes in Chernihiv Oblast on July 14th are part of a broader pattern of aerial attacks targeting Ukrainian infrastructure and military assets.
