Claim 1: “the operations of strike UAV crews are clearing the way for the advancement of the 25th Combined Arms Army's assault units”
SINGLE SOURCE
Similar to Claim 1, this is a tactical assertion likely coming from the same single source reporting the 25th Combined Arms Army's activities. The other provided evidence (Wikipedia entries on 'Strike' TV series or general drone warfare) is irrelevant to the specific movement of the 25th Combined Arms Army's assault units.

Claim 2: “Combat footage shows direct hits by FPV drones, destroying several unmanned ground vehicles and taking out Ukrainian troops”
SINGLE SOURCE
This claim appears to be a descriptive detail accompanying the report mentioned in Claim 0. The provided evidence for Claim 1 consists mostly of generic Wikipedia entries about 'Combat' or drone simulators, which do not provide specific evidence for this event. Only the single source reporting the event in Claim 0 supports this detail.

Claim 3: “Servicemen from the 9th Engineer-Sapper Regiment of the 25th Combined Arms Army within Russia's Battlegroup West have eliminated Ukrainian personnel and several unmanned ground vehicles near Krasny Liman in the Donetsk People's Republic (DPR)”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim is directly supported by one web search result ('Russian forces eliminate Ukrainian troops, ground robots near...'), which contains the specific details regarding the 9th Engineer-Sapper Regiment, the 25th Combined Arms Army, and the location. While Wikipedia confirms the existence of the 25th Combined Arms Army, no other independent news sources were provided to corroborate this specific operational event.
