Ukraine has reportedly blinded eight Russian drone operators in a sophisticated operation using explosive military goggles.
Zelensky’s troops are thought to have booby-trapped headsets used to operate UAVs via a mysterious volunteer group in a plot similar to the Israeli pager blitz carried out by the IDF.

The apparent sabotage mission caught Putin’s drone troops off-guard as the glasses were reportedly rigged to blow up when turned on.
Both the Russian and Ukrainian armies have relied on donations as they rush to replenish frontline supplies.
Dozens of goggle explosions have been reported by troops since mid-February, according to defence site Militarnyi.
Around 80 sets of Skyzone Cobra FPV goggles were donated to different units of Putin’s army by an NGO this year, it was reported.
Each group is said to have received the items for free from the same organisation.
The first headset explosion was reported on February 4, when a pair detonated while on an operator’s face.
Seven more blasts were then reported over the next three days in the Kursk, Donetsk, and Luhansk areas.
Some of these goggles, however, were intercepted and inspected by Russian forces, where they made a shocking discovery.
