Ukrainian fighters destroyed the drone command post of the Russian elite unit Rubikon in Ukraine's Donetsk region, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported.
"Combat operations of the Rocket Forces and Artillery of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are ongoing. Units of the Rocket Forces and Artillery, in cooperation with other components of the Defense Forces, struck a number of important Russian targets," the General Staff reported.
Thus, recently, only in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk region, the drone command post of the Russian unit Rubikon and a large ammunition depot of the Russian forces were destroyed.
The Rubikon unit was created only in August 2024, but it is already considered one of the most effective technological formations of the enemy.
In Rubikon, the selection of the most trained personnel, effective management and unlimited funding are ensured. Currently, Russia is actively expanding this unit from several hundred to several thousand fighters in order to cover the entire front.
