These drones, operated by soldiers of the 116th Separate Mechanized Brigade, are being employed to intercept Russian Shahed drones as well as other attack and reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles. The article notes the presence of UPA soldiers on banners and mentions Polish Pope John Paul II and Mikhail Bulgakov, author of 'The Master and Margarita,' in the context of Ukraine's struggle.
