How Rubikon Drones Turned Ukraine’s Supply Routes into Death Traps
Russian Rubikon strike drones cripple Ukrainian logistics, using FPV tactics to target supply routes, convoys, and troop rotations, The National Interest reports.
Russian strike drones operated by the Rubikon center have dealt a serious blow to the Ukrainian military, according to The National Interest. The publication reports that these UAVs have stripped Ukrainian units of maneuverability, disrupted logistics, and turned supply routes into deadly corridors.
Analysts note that Rubikon operators have shifted tactics, making frequent use of FPV drones against convoys, logistics hubs, and evacuation groups. By maintaining constant fire control over key roads, they have made any movement for Ukrainian forces perilous.
As a result, Ukrainian units are facing supply shortages, fuel and ammunition deficits, and increased risks during troop rotations.
The article stresses that the skill level of Rubikon drone operators allows them to perform missions that, within NATO militaries, are typically assigned to airborne units.
Meanwhile, the outlet Strana.ua reports that Russian forces have adopted a new strike method: launching FPV drones from larger UAV platforms to hit enemy positions more effectively.
