The footage depicts the destruction of the Russian drone team and associated equipment in the southern Ukrainian region.
The AASM Hammer is an air-to-ground precision-guided munition integrated on Ukrainian MiG-29 Fulcrum fighters. French authorities have supplied the weapons as part of military assistance to Ukraine. The strike occurred in Kherson Oblast, an area that has seen repeated clashes between Ukrainian and Russian forces since the full-scale invasion began in 2022.
Russian drone teams have been used extensively for reconnaissance and strike missions in the region. No casualty figures or additional details about the Russian unit were immediately available.
