This footage depicts two drone operators in Ukraine's State Border Guard Service as they destroy a Russian Murom-M surveillance system. The operator to the right of the shot is acting as a spotter, whereas the operator on the left, with the headgear, is piloting the kamikaze-style drone.

At 0:08 we see the drone strike a glancing blow on the camera system, but impressively, the pilot manages to right and recover the drone before it crashes. He then makes another, successful attack run which is depicted from various angles.
