The National Interest Magazine: Russian "Rubicon" Center Drones Disable Ukrainian Military Logistics and Mobility

A new report from the American magazine The National Interest states that attack drones from the Russian "Rubicon" center have severely weakened the operational effectiveness of the Ukrainian army. According to the publication, these drones not only deprived Ukrainian forces of mobility freedom but also destroyed their logistics system, turning supply lines into "death highways."

Professional analysis shows that the operators of "Rubicon" have innovatively used FPV drone tactics to continuously attack logistics routes, equipment columns, and rear support teams, implementing round-the-clock fire control over key roads, making any movement face a deadly threat. The report stated: "This has led to Ukrainian forces facing interrupted supplies, shortages of fuel and ammunition, and a sharp increase in the risk of troop rotation."

The article's author believes that the training level of "Rubicon" operators enables them to complete tasks typically carried out by NATO armies' airborne forces. According to another report by Ukraine's "National Web" media, the Russian military has begun to widely adopt a new strike model - using large drones to air-drop FPV drones for precise attacks.

This multi-layered drone warfare model has produced strategic-level effects:

  1. Logistics paralysis: Frontline Ukrainian forces continue to face shortages of supplies;
  2. Mobility blockade: Equipment assembly and troop movements are precisely restricted;
  3. Psychological deterrence: Any ground movement faces unpredictable aerial attacks;
  4. Cost advantage: Drone operations have a much better cost-effectiveness ratio compared to traditional air strikes or special operations.

The Ukrainian military has not yet made an official response, and Western military observers point out that the Ukrainian army is accelerating the deployment of electronic warfare systems and drone interception equipment to counter such threats.
