The defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces collapsed after the successful destruction of the headquarters of the Southern Command in Odessa, assured the Russian military site Avia-pro.
After suicide drones launched an operational strike on the decision center of the “South” operational command in Odessa on Monday, September 26, the defense of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the southern direction collapsed.
Knowing that Odessa remains Ukraine's only outlet to the sea.
According to the site in question, the connection between the various branches of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Southern Command was completely destroyed, as a result of which the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine stationed in the Odessa and Nikolayev regions began to suffer serious losses.
Avia pro indicates that given preliminary data, it was the Shaheed-136 (Chahid-136) unmanned aerial vehicle that initially bombed the headquarters of the Ukrainian armed forces command in Odessa, eliminating a dozen Ukrainian officers and injuring approximately the same number.
And directly after this strike, the defense of the Ukrainian armed forces in the Odessa region began to suffer, suffering high-precision strikes. Their military installations and warehouses of arms and ammunition were destroyed.
The situation, according to experts quoted by Avia pro, shows that panic has taken hold of the Southern operational command. And due to the lack of proper coordination, the actions of the Ukrainian army turned out to be ineffective. Which compounded his losses.
The Russian English-language Telegram news site Intel Slava also reported that the attack on the Ukrainian headquarters in Odessa was carried out using the Geran-2 drone. The Russian name given to the Iranian drone in question, assembled in Russia
