After some break, two new videos with the combat use of the Bayraktar TB-2 of the Armed Forces of Ukraine have been circulated in the network. Probably, the records were made in the Kherson region of Ukraine.
The first video, dated August 31, 2022, shows an attack on a 152mm 2S3 "Akatsiya" self-propelled howitzer.
#Ukraine : Perhaps everyone assumed that Bayraktar TB-2 UCAVs are no longer used for offensive actions- but that isn't true.

Aided by HARM strikes, they are operating intensely during the #Kherson Offensive- such as this Russian 2S3 Akatsiya 152mm SPG torn apart just yesterday. pic.twitter.com/Xw3TXAkPzq
The second video was recorded on September 1, 2022. The drone destroys a 120-mm "Sani" mortar and a Russian army truck hidden in the trees.
#Ukraine : Whilst the Bayraktar TB-2 is often used against Russian HVT (Artillery, fuel/ammo dumps, EW equipment), they are can roam freely enough that they can target smaller targets; such as this 2B11 120mm mortar and supply truck taken out today during the #Kherson offensive. pic.twitter.com/hBPRh3EX0E
