Ukraine’s Nemesis Drones Strike 365 Russian Guns, Heavy Equipment

Operators of Ukraine’s 412th NEMESIS regiment destroyed 365 howitzers and guns last month.

The regiment representatives also added that they targeted hundreds of heavy vehicles, tanks, armored carriers, multiple rocket launchers (MLRS), and ammunition depots.

Their key achievements include the destruction of a rare North Korean M1989 Koksan self-propelled gun in the Luhansk region, using a drone bomber during a night operation.

The regiment also destroyed a Strela-10M4 missile system in Luhansk and damaged a Buk-M3 air defense system in the Zaporizhzhia direction.

“In addition, the S-60 mobile anti-aircraft artillery system was converted into scrap metal,” the regiment reported.

The regiment is equipped with NEMESIS heavy bomber drones. In recent years, Russian forces have started referring to these drones—and others like the Vampire—as “Baba Yaga.”

The drone is notable for its size, with a wingspan of over a meter between its four engines.

Equipped with Starlink satellite communication, it can operate beyond the limitations of traditional systems, with a range exceeding 20 kilometers.

Nemesis operators use high-definition cameras to survey enemy positions at their target, even at night. They then carry out precision strikes by dropping munitions directly onto enemy equipment, delivering critical blows to Russian forces.
