Ukraine's elite drone brigade, known as Magyar’s Birds, using Latvian FPV drones and technology, is reportedly killing Russian soldiers at a rate of about one every 6 minutes near the Pokrovsk frontline. Latvia has increased drone deliveries to Ukraine, projecting 12,000 drones by June 2025, significantly boosting Ukrainian drone warfare capabilities. The Drone Coalition, led by Latvia and the UK and comprised of 16 countries, aims to support Ukraine with UAVs, electronic warfare systems, and related technologies. Magyar’s Birds drone unit, founded by Robert Brovdi (callsign Magyar), operates decentralized teams with drone pilots, engineers, EW specialists, and intelligence officers, employing drones for surveillance, kamikaze strikes, and electronic disruption against Russian forces. In April alone, the unit reportedly eliminated 564 Russian soldiers and wounded 311, equating to effects comparable to destroying a Russian assault brigade monthly. Latvian companies produce these fast, reliable FPV drones, and Latvia supports operator training. The Drone Coalition has allegedly delivered one million drones by February 2025. The brigade's kill-to-loss ratio is estimated at roughly 1,000 Russian combatants per lost operator. This capability is said to enable Ukrainian forces to disrupt Russian logistics, troop movements, and command-control structures near Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast.
