Operators of FPV drones from the 7th Assault Brigade executed the operation, approximately six kilometers from the front lines, in a wooded area near Pokrovsk. Military sources confirmed the strike through a video shared on Telegram.
The 7th Brigade reported that the operation resulted in damage to the Russian equipment, indicating that it would now require repairs. “Result: the occupiers’ equipment is sent for repairs,” stated officials.
The TOC-1A “Solntsepek” is among the most formidable artillery systems in the Russian arsenal, with a value estimated at around $15 million. The cost of a single rocket is approximately $5,000, while a full salvo can range from $120,000 to $150,000.
