Russian forces have intensified their military operations in Krasnohorivka, employing advanced armored vehicles equipped with counter-FPV (First Person View) drone technology. These vehicles, including the Z-STS 'Akhmat' and MT-LB, have been fitted with screens and electronic warfare (EW) systems to mitigate the threat from Ukrainian FPV drones. Additionally, Russian servicemen have started installing similar protective screens on motorcycles. The use of these modified vehicles, referred to as 'Turtle tanks', has been pivotal in the Russian assault on Krasnohorivka, leading to significant territorial gains. Russian troops have captured the industrial zone and raised their flag, pushing Ukrainian forces to retreat from key positions including Soloviove. A Ukrainian FPV drone supplier commented that the effectiveness of these systems is 'laughable if you don't know that it is still effective.'
