“5000 Worms”: Madyar Reports Enemy Losses Inflicted by SBS in September

Ukrainian serviceman Madyar announced that from September 1 to 24, the Drone Systems Forces (SBS) “crossed” the mark of 5,000 eliminated occupiers. As of the time of his post on September 24, the counter shows 5,147.

What the post says

• According to Madyar, the target of six thousand in September “will be crossed.”

• He explained the scale: this equals three enemy assault brigades (each assault component can have up to 2,000 “worms” per brigade).

• He urged followers to track the statistics via the online dashboard “PIDRAKHUIKA.” In just 14 days of operation, the service reportedly recorded 12 million visits from more than 60 countries worldwide.

• He closed his post with the phrase: “Eyes and Sting — worm horror”, referring to reconnaissance drones (“Eyes”) and strike FPVs (“Sting”).

In Madyar’s terminology, “worms” is slang for eliminated Russian soldiers.

Context

SBS (Drone Systems Forces) is a new branch of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, integrating reconnaissance, strike UAVs, and engineering solutions. FPV drone units play a key role in counter-battery operations, disrupting enemy assaults, and destroying equipment on the front line.

Important

The figures announced by Madyar are the claims of a serviceman and are not official statistics of the Ukrainian General Staff. Official numbers may differ.
