Ukrainian forces say they found and attacked a Russian drone base after hacking a drone and geolocating the footage.

Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi said that electronic warfare specialists were aware of a Russian first-person-view (FPV) drone flying in Kherson and that the feed was “intercepted immediately,” Forbes reported.

The footage was sent to Ukraine’s 36th Marine Brigade, who geolocated it and sent a reconnaissance drone to investigate the area, Brovdi said.

A video shows a drone positioning itself above a building at the Russian site, which is then struck by artillery.

    “Hacked”. The Russian drone likely used analog signal which isn’t encoded and anyone can see if they set their receiver to its frequency.

    Pretty stoopid.
