Madiar says his Ukrainian drone unit hit 7,306 Russian troops in first half of October
Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi, known as Madiar, says his unit hit 7,306 Russian troops in the first half of October. He says that is 59% more than in August.
Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi, who goes by the call sign Madiar, says Ukraine is continuing its strikes on Russian targets. He reports that his unit hit 7,306 Russian troops in the first half of October, a figure he says is 59% higher than in August. Euromaidan Press reported the claim on 15 October.
Pace maintained despite weather
According to Brovdi, the intensity of the strikes held through weather conditions that usually limit drone operations and keep the aircraft grounded. He presents the increase under such conditions as a sign that the unit can keep working without pause.
Assessment of the trend
Brovdi describes the trend as the opposite of de-escalation. In his reading, the fighting is not winding down but picking up.
The figures come from the commander himself, and the source does not explain how they were calculated. It also does not give the August baseline in absolute numbers or say whether the data has been independently confirmed.
