Russian fiber-optic FPV drones reach Kramatorsk, Ukraine’s Donbas stronghold

(Kollen Post – The Kyiv Independent) Russian FPVs are reaching deeper into Ukraine’s Donbas fortress belt of highly fortified cities. Photos published on X May 5 by Iryna Rybakova , a press officer for the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian military, show the aftermath of a drone strike on a car in a residential area of Kramatorsk, the temporary capital of Ukrainian-held Donetsk Oblast.
