The ‘Rubicon’ drone squad is now actively targeting and neutralizing Ukrainian artillery systems, including the US-supplied HIMARS.

Entering its fourth year, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has ushered in a new era: the age of ‘drone warfare’. These nimble flying machines are reshaping the dynamics of modern combat, particularly in high-intensity engagements.

In scenarios characterized by peer-to-peer conflict, where heavy machinery and fortified positions define the battlefield, the focus shifts from rapid maneuvers to a grueling war of attrition. Each side is intent on dismantling the other’s operational capabilities.

This is where drones come into play—ranging from Russia’s ‘Geraniums’ (Shahed drones) to Ukraine’s Baba-Yaga, alongside an array of quadcopters employed by both forces.

Drones provide a cost-effective solution, with price tags in the thousands or tens of thousands, capable of destroying multi-million-dollar tanks and armored vehicles.

Initially, Ukraine held a technological edge in drone warfare. However, this advantage has since evaporated, with Russia’s drone production now surpassing that of all Western nations combined.

The tactics have evolved dramatically, evidenced by the emergence of an elite Russian drone unit that has begun to successfully target critical HIMARS artillery systems, which Ukraine heavily relies on.

The Telegraph recently reported:

“The attack was reportedly carried out by Rubicon, the Kremlin’s elite drone warfare unit, which has become a source of dread for Ukrainian soldiers. Initially deployed during Russia’s aggressive efforts to reclaim the eastern town of Kursk, Rubicon is now focused on hunting down Ukraine’s most critical battlefield assets, specifically its US-supplied long-range missiles. Early indications suggest they are succeeding.”

The Biden administration has supplied Ukraine with at least 40 HIMARS systems. While these artillery pieces were intended to be positioned well behind enemy lines for safety, it appears that no location is truly secure anymore.

“Given their significance, it’s uncommon for a HIMARS launcher to be stationed merely 10 kilometers from the front. The one destroyed near Chasov Yar was likely deployed to strike targets deep within enemy territory.”

Reports from The Telegraph indicate that at least four HIMARS systems have been destroyed thus far, and the advanced technology employed by Russian drone units poses a significant threat to Ukrainian operations.

“Unlike earlier losses, which primarily resulted from missile or artillery strikes, the latest HIMARS destruction appears to have been executed by a first-person view (FPV) drone utilizing a fiber-optic guidance cable. This sophisticated design is largely resistant to jamming, marking a dangerous evolution in the conflict. Traditional FPV drones are vulnerable to Ukraine’s electronic warfare capabilities, which can disrupt incoming signals mid-flight. In contrast, fiber-optic drones maintain a direct, physical connection to their operators through ultra-thin cables that relay real-time video and guidance signals.”

Currently, Russian fiber-optic drones are proving nearly impossible to jam, representing a significant advancement in drone warfare capabilities.

The ‘Rubicon’ unit was established in October 2024 under the directive of Russia’s newly appointed defense minister, Andrei Belousov, a civilian.

“The drone operators now function within at least seven specialized detachments across eastern Ukraine, executing complex, decentralized missions. Their strategies are equally modern and adaptive. During the Kursk offensive, Rubicon drones reportedly targeted short segments of road—ranging from just 100 to 300 meters—attacking from multiple angles simultaneously to ensnare convoys in deadly ambushes.”
