Ukrainian Air Force Takes out Russian Drone Command Center in Kursk Region
On May 4, 2025, the Ukrainian Air Force executed a precision airstrike targeting a Russian drone operations command center in the village of Tyotkino, Kursk Oblast. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the attack resulted in the elimination of up to 20 Russian military personnel and the destruction of equipment used for reconnaissance and strike drone operations.
The targeted facility was reportedly utilized by Russian forces to coordinate drone activities, including surveillance and offensive operations against Ukrainian positions. The strike underscores Ukraine’s ongoing efforts to disrupt Russian military infrastructure and diminish the operational capabilities of unmanned aerial systems employed by Russian troops.
This operation is part of a series of Ukrainian military actions aimed at neutralizing key Russian assets involved in drone warfare. Earlier reports indicate that Ukrainian forces have successfully targeted other Russian drone-related facilities and equipment in the region.
The use of drones has been a significant aspect of the ongoing conflict, with both Ukrainian and Russian forces deploying various unmanned systems for reconnaissance and combat purposes. Ukraine’s targeted strikes on Russian drone command centers aim to impair the effectiveness of these operations and reduce the threat posed by enemy drones on the battlefield.
