Russians use kamikaze drones over Zaporizhia NPP nuclear reactors, - GUR MO

Russian occupiers are using attack drones over the nuclear reactors of the captured Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense received the corresponding video evidence. Censor.NET reports this with reference to the press service of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Moscow Region.

It is noted that the active action units of the Main Intelligence Directorate received evidence that the Russian occupiers are using kamikaze drones at the captured Zaporizhia NPP. The video from the Russian FPV drone was obtained using electronic intelligence equipment.

The footage bears the marking UT4D.TT, indicating that the drone was supplied by the Russian Ministry of Defense.

The station is used for training UAV pilots

Ukrainian intelligence also recorded that the flight path of the Russian kamikaze drone runs over the power units of the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in the direction of the Ukrainian-controlled Nikopol and Marganets communities, which are subject to constant enemy attacks.

In addition, near the sixth reactor of the station, the Russians equipped launch pads for their UAVs.

“Since the summer of 2023, the Russians began to use the territory of the captured nuclear power plant for training FPV drone pilots - this is done by the so-called Archangel school, which is funded by the Main Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces (formerly the GRU),” the GUR noted.

“The listed facts and evidence are further evidence of the criminal and irresponsible activities of the aggressor state of Russia at the nuclear facility it occupies, which can have catastrophic consequences,” the intelligence service noted.
