According to the soldiers, the success of this operation was ensured by the commander of the strike UAV platoon, a native of the Luhansk region — he was the one who planned it.
Four years ago, he landed in besieged Mariupol, and after completing its defense, he single-handedly entered the controlled territory, for which he received the title of Hero of Ukraine.
