Ukraine has reportedly successfully eliminated a feared Russian FPV drone operator known as “Moisey” in the ongoing conflict along the Dnipro River. Moisey and his team have been held responsible for causing significant damage and casualties to Ukrainian forces. A Ukrainian team led by drone expert “Balu” carried out the strike, referring to it as “a little present to Moisey.”
Reports indicate that Ukrainian defense forces have eliminated one of Russia’s most formidable FPV drone operators, Moisey, also known as “Moses,” during the intense fighting around the Dnipro River. Various sources, including messages from Moisey’s wife, confirm the success of the operation against the feared drone ace.
Moisey, recognized as one of Russia’s top FPV operators, has been credited with inflicting numerous casualties and sinking multiple Ukrainian boats along the Dnipro. In his last communication a few days ago, he ominously described the situation as “hell in Krynky.”
Facing persistent attacks on small boats supplying the Krynky bridgehead, Ukrainian defense forces devised a plan to eliminate Moisey and his drone team. Led by drone expert “Balu,” a Ukrainian drone team successfully located and targeted Moisey’s team. Footage of the strike that led to the destruction of the Russian FPV ace Moisey was published by Ukrainian FPV ace “Balu,” who referred to it as a “little present to Moisey.”
With Moisey gone, the pressure on Ukrainian forces involved in resupply efforts has eased. The Ministry of Defence of the UK stated on January 12 that Russia seems unable to counter Ukraine’s drone attacks on the Dnipro River due to a lack of electronic warfare capability in the area. However, analysts caution that Moisey and his team can be replaced, potentially leading to new drone attacks on the supply route.
Drone warfare has become a key aspect of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, with operators becoming highly valued soldiers and prime targets. There were unconfirmed reports this week that Ukraine used US-supplied HIMARS to target a group of Russian drone pilots assembling for training in the occupied part of the Donetsk region in eastern Ukraine.
