Cum s-au folosit ucrainenii de „roboți zombi” în operațiunea „Vivaldi”, ofensiva secretă care a bulversat apărarea rușilor din Donețk

The Ukrainian army has captured 176 square kilometers in the Donetsk region through a secret offensive named "Operation Vivaldi." This operation utilized newly developed robotic kamikaze vehicles, referred to as "zombie machines," to destroy Russian fortifications. The offensive was conducted in three phases, with the first phase resulting in significant Russian losses, including 1,500 troops and numerous drones and armored vehicles. The operation aimed to mislead Russian forces about its true objectives. General Andrii Biletskyi announced the completion of the third phase, emphasizing that Ukraine still controls about 20% of Donetsk territory, having reclaimed approximately 700 square kilometers since the beginning of 2026.
