The unit operates within the Donetsk region's fortress belt as Russia seeks control over key cities central to peace talks.
Members of a Ukrainian drone unit calling themselves the Peaky Blinders have taken on the task of intercepting Russian drones in Slovyansk, according to a BBC News report.
Slovyansk is one of four cities forming Ukraine's fortress belt, a system of heavily reinforced defence lines in parts of the eastern Donetsk region still under Ukrainian control.
The town has become almost uninhabitable and has faced heavy bombardment from Russian missiles, glide bombs, and drones, Jonathan Beale reported from inside the city.
Russia wants Kyiv to surrender the fortress cities, which are central to peace deal talks that have resumed in Abu Dhabi between Ukraine, Russia, and the US after nine months.
The Peaky Blinders unit took its name from the BBC television series.
