The Spartan Brigade’s aerial reconnaissance units responded immediately, stopping the intruders with precision strikes from kamikaze drones and those carrying explosive payloads. ” remarked the commander.

Over the past day, the Guardsmen destroyed one tank, four armored infantry vehicles, eight vehicles, two ammunition depots and two UAVs.
