US EditionUkraine blows up two key Russian bridges using Moscow’s own mines and $600 drones
The Ukrainian 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade exploited Russian mines beneath two bridges using $600 drones to disrupt critical military supply lines on Aug 23, 2025.
- On Aug. 23, Ukraine's 58th Separate Motorized Infantry Brigade destroyed two bridges in the Belgorod region using a couple of cheap first-person-view drones.
- As part of its campaign, Ukrainian forces have targeted bridges to hamper the Russian military's resupply during the full-scale invasion, delaying the advance and protecting Kyiv.
- The drones cost about $600 each and flew as first-person-view drones with fiber optics beneath the spans, locating stashes of mines and ammunition before explosions triggered.
- Moscow has yet to comment on the Belgorod bridge attacks, while the strikes provide a rare boost to Kyiv amid ongoing advances by Russian troops.
- The operation fits a pattern that includes small drones previously striking Russian assets, including another Belgorod bridge earlier this month, and Ukraine using Western-supplied HIMARS, which Germany bought three of last year for $30 million.
