Last Saturday, February 5, a drone identical to the one downed last week in Belarus was found in Ukraine, near the village Gnutovo (Donetsk region). Photos of the UAV were published on Twitter by a user  Analytic_center.

According to a Twitter user and a number of telegram channels, the UAV was launched from the positions of militants in the Donbass. It is reported that it crashed into a power pole. But it’s interesting that this drone is completely similar to the one that was shot down near the «Brestski» training ground in Belarus on January 24.

However, there is one difference, you can see under the wings something similar to bombs in the photo of the one found in Ukraine, which outwardly resemble painted PVC pipes. According to Ukrainian telegram channels, these are not pipes, but ammunition – most likely, fragmentation grenades VOG-17.
