A Ukrainian "Bohdana" artillery piece repelled a Russian assault in Guljapol after surviving 60 FPV-drone attacks in a single day [1].

The incident highlights the intensifying role of first-person view drones in targeting high-value artillery assets, a tactic used to neutralize long-range fire support.

According to reports from the 44th artillery brigade [2], the crew maintained operations despite the high volume of aerial attacks. The artillery piece was targeted by 60 drones [1] during the engagement, which occurred as Russian forces attempted to storm Ukrainian positions.

TSN correspondent Dar'ya Nazarova said the fire from the Bohdana system disrupted the offensive plans of the opposing forces [1]. The persistence of the crew and the durability of the equipment allowed the unit to continue providing fire support during the assault.

The use of FPV drones has become a primary method for suppressing artillery batteries, often requiring crews to employ electronic warfare or physical shielding to survive. In this instance, the 44th artillery brigade [2] managed to keep the weapon operational despite the saturation of drone strikes.

While the specific date of the engagement was not provided in the report, the event underscores the high-risk environment for artillery crews operating in contested regions. The ability of a single unit to withstand such a concentrated volume of attacks suggests a significant level of resilience in both the hardware and the operational tactics used by the brigade [1].

The survival of a high-value asset like the Bohdana under such intense drone pressure indicates a shift in the attrition war. As FPV drones become the primary tool for 'hunting' artillery, the ability of a crew to remain operational after 60 separate strikes suggests that either the defensive measures are improving or the attackers are struggling with precision. This resilience prevents the collapse of fire support lines during infantry assaults.
