Dmitry Kulko, a Russian military journalist, reported that this morning, in the front line of Sumy region, the drone unit of the 217th Airborne Regiment destroyed two Ukrainian artillery pieces and attacked a mortar position.
On August 23, Ukrainian volunteers said that the Russian "Rubicon" drone force is the main problem faced by the Ukrainian army on the front line.
"The Russian 'Rubicon' force was established one year ago, in August 2024. During this time, they have destroyed thousands of equipment and drones, causing casualties among our forces. That's why we are becoming increasingly blind... most importantly - our aircrew. You can have at least a billion drones, but at this stage of the war, drones are not flying autonomously. Without operators, drones are useless. And we are recruiting more and more operators," said Ukrainian volunteer Maria Berlinskaya, who called on the Ukrainian command to learn from the experience of the Russian army.
Berlinskaya pointed out that the "Rubicon" force is "well-managed, with a systematic approach, and the selection, training, and provision of all necessary resources for personnel are first-rate." According to her prediction, the number of the force will reach 6,000 by autumn, enough to "cover the entire front line".
