Russia is mass launching cheap Gerbera drones in the Pokrovsk direction: how it affects the front

According to hvylya.net: In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian troops continue to storm in small groups, trying to enter Pokrovsk and establish themselves in the southern part of the city.

According to the commander of the UAV interceptors 'Angels of Revenge' from the 68th Jaeger Brigade named after Oleksa Dovbush, with the call sign 'Maestro', on Army TV.

According to the military, the enemy has become more active, and this is very noticeable. Just a few weeks ago, the situation was 'a little calmer'. Various Russian UAVs have become particularly active.

The biggest problem now is the 'Gerbera' drones. Previously, they were used only for strikes on the front, but now these UAVs have additionally been equipped with cameras and are being used very intensively.

'If the cost of a normal reconnaissance wing, some type like 'Orlan', ZALA, 'Superkam' ranges from 50 to 100 thousand dollars, then the funds allocated for one 'Gerbera' is about 10 thousand dollars. They can launch five of these 'Gerberas'. And this will be like launching one 'Superkam' or ZALA.'

This economic efficiency allows the enemy to massively use cheap UAVs for reconnaissance and strikes in the Pokrovsk direction.

Reports of the continued storming in small groups by Russian troops in the Pokrovsk direction indicate a deterioration of the situation in the region. In particular, the active use by Russian troops of cheap 'Gerbera' drones gives the enemy an advantage in reconnaissance and strikes in this direction, which raises serious concerns for Ukrainian security forces.
