Thanks to the Rubicon unit, which hunts drone operators of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia has managed to neutralize one of the main tactical advantages of Ukraine at the front. The British Financial Times bitterly writes about this.

After about two years of almost unpunished attacks on Russian units, Ukrainian operators have become an object of hunting. Using advanced technologies and its own fleet of hunting drones, Rubicon detects, tracks and destroys Ukrainian operators before they have time to launch drones.

Their appearance led to a "frightening turn" on the digital battlefield.

"Rubicon is our main problem... if the Russians did not have such competent drone operators, their infantry would not have been able to penetrate the city. Now it is very dangerous to be a drone operator," says a Ukrainian serviceman from Pokrovska Artem Karyakin.

Instead of striking at the Ukrainian infantry on the front line, the unit is focused on destroying operators and destroying logistics, sums up.
