National Guard troops destroy Russian reconnaissance drone worth $100,000

According to Ukrinform, the 5th Omega unit announced this on Telegram and released a video of the combat operation. The value of the destroyed UAV is $100,000.

The Russians use it for deep aerial reconnaissance and to record the results of strike drone operations.

According to open sources, about four such drones were shot down in 2026.

As the military noted, "King Oleg the Prophet was a ruler of the Kyivan Rus state. By naming their drone after this ancient Ukrainian warrior, Russia is once again attempting to appropriate and exploit our Ukrainian history."

As Ukrinform reported, in the Kostiantynivka direction, fighters of the Khyzhak brigade also destroyed a Russian reconnaissance drone complex King Oleg the Prophet.
