**Ukraine’s Drone Achieves Military First**
A new, large drone used by Ukraine’s military has made history. The drone successfully dropped an AK-47 assault rifle in combat operations.
This achievement is significant as it shows the country’s progress in using drones for military purposes.
**Other Key Developments**
* Ukraine is threatening to collapse a Russian bridgehead near Chasiv Yar, which would limit Russia’s ability to attack Ukrainian forces.
* Ukrainian marines have used US-made armored vehicles to storm Russian trenches and prevent a potential encirclement of their troops along the Sukhi Yaly River defensive line.
**Drone Strikes**
Ukraine and Russia have been trading drone strikes. Ukraine claims it destroyed 50 out of 73 Russian drones, while 19 more crashed. Russia says it downed 39 Ukrainian long-range drones.
**Russian Losses**
The approximate losses of Russian military equipment from the beginning of the invasion to now are:
* Tanks: over 9,400
* Armored vehicles: over 19,200
* Artillery systems: over 20,700
* Anti-aircraft systems: over 1,000
These numbers show the significant loss of equipment and personnel on Russia’s side.
