Ukraine's Phoenix Drone Unit Destroys russian T-72 and T-62 Tanks, Artillery, and Personnel

2026-07-17SINGLE SOURCE

SINGLE SOURCE — Ukrainian publication. Defense Express reports, based on video material from Ukraine's 'Phoenix' drone unit, the destruction of Russian T-72 and T-62 tanks, artillery pieces, and personnel in an unspecified front sector. The article presents this as an operational success for specialized FPV/reconnaissance drone units. This type of destroyed-equipment claim is typical of the daily information flow from both belligerents and is not independently verified by Defense Express itself (e.g. via geolocation or Oryx-style documentation). The mention of T-62s alongside T-72s is consistent with earlier reporting that Russia is drawing on older reserve-stored armor to offset losses. Useful as an indicator of the pace and nature of Ukrainian anti-armor drone employment, not as a verified loss count.
