Fears about the beginning of the assault on Donbass by Turkish shock drones began to receive the first confirmation.

Sources in the Ukrainian defense department report that at least six Turkish Bayraktar TB2 attack unmanned aerial vehicles were deployed to the Kramatorsk region to prepare an assault on the territories of the self-proclaimed Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics. According to preliminary data, these six attack drones were specially donated by the Turkish side so that Ukraine could fully test them, and judging by the lack of effective air defense systems in Donbas, the situation here may turn out to be akin to what happened on the territory of Karabakh.

“The Ukrainian armed forces transferred Bayraktar TB2 attack unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to the zone of the Joint Forces operation in Donbass. It is indicated that six Turkish-made drones were delivered to Kramatorsk. No further details or links to sources are provided in the short message. The use of Bayraktar TB2 drones by the Azerbaijani army during the recent armed conflict in Karabakh proved to be very effective. Immediately after that, some experts started talking about the fact that Ukrainian "military strategists" may try to use the successful experience of Azerbaijan and use these UAVs against the self-proclaimed republics of Donbass or even for the "return of Crimea" ", - about it сообщает Russian information publication "EA Daily".

Given the fact that Ukraine only intends to acquire a large batch of Turkish attack drones, experts express the opinion that Ankara handed over these drones to Kiev specifically for testing in the eastern part of Ukraine, which could inevitably lead to a very rapid loss of the DPR and LPR of some territories.
