Ukrainian Drones Hit Russian Rubicon Unit Base in Berdiansk, 107 km From Front
Ukrainian military personnel have released video of a strike on a base of Russia's Rubicon drone unit in occupied Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast. The site lies about 107 km from the line of contact.
Ukraine's armed forces have published new video showing an attack on a base of the Russian Rubicon drone unit in temporarily occupied Berdiansk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, in southern Ukraine. The facility is located roughly 107 km from the line of contact and was hit in a combined strike that included drones. The footage was shared on Facebook by the Defence Forces of the South and Operational Command Pivden (South).
What the video shows
The recording shows more than 10 strikes on various buildings at the base. The military says the enemy lost trained specialists who had been teaching operators and passing their experience on to others.
The attack was carried out by UAV battery units of the Harpy Group within the Defence Forces of the South, together with Ukraine's Foreign Intelligence Service, the Alpha Special Group of the Security Service of Ukraine, and the 412th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment.
The caption on the video says the operation again proves that Russian occupiers no longer have a safe rear area, and that Ukraine's defence forces can detect and hit enemy assets far from the front line, acting in a coordinated way and under a single plan.
Earlier reports
Ukraine's General Staff reported earlier that the strike on the Rubicon base in Berdiansk took place on 7 November. It said the unit's temporary deployment site and a ground control station were hit. The General Staff described Rubicon as one of Russia's most combat-capable drone centres.
On the night of 8–9 November, Ukrainian forces also struck the Morozov Plant in Russia's Leningrad Oblast. The plant produces solid-fuel charges for the engines of Iskander-M ballistic missiles.
