Drone Forced Invaders to Lay Down Their Weapons Through Loudspeaker; Four Captured by Spartan

Units of the Spartan Brigade continue to replenish the exchange fund on the Pokrovsk front.

During the latest combat operations, Ukrainian troops captured four Russian invaders, according to a post on the Facebook page of the 3rd Spartan Special Forces Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine.

According to the prisoners, most of them went to war for pragmatic reasons — to “make money” or to obtain early release from prison.

Two of them admitted that they were former convicts.

As the prisoners said in the video, the command tasked them with reaching a certain point and waiting for further orders.

However, after being deployed, they were effectively left without communication or support.

“They told us to reach the point and wait. In the end, they abandoned us there,” the invaders recount.

Due to difficult weather conditions and a lack of adequate supplies, the Russian soldiers suffered from frostbite.

According to them, they “barely survived” and froze their feet, remaining in position without rotation or evacuation.

The climax came with the use of Ukrainian drones. According to one of the prisoners, after their shelters were discovered, a Ukrainian drone began to target their position, forcing them to leave their hiding place.

“They smoked us out… and the drone told us to surrender,” said one of the detainees.

Through a loudspeaker from the UAV, the invaders were offered to lay down their arms and were guaranteed their lives would be spared if they surrendered. After a brief hesitation, they agreed.

Another Russian soldier reported that his unit had suffered significant losses during the battle.

“The guys were mowed down like grass. I hid… Then I decided it was better to stay alive,” he said.

The invaders complied with the Ukrainian military’s instructions without resistance and were evacuated from the combat zone.

This is not the first time that the Defense Forces have used unmanned aerial vehicles not only to strike the enemy, but also to force them to surrender via loudspeaker.

Recently, the 158th Mechanized Brigade captured five invaders with the help of a loudspeaker appeal.
