Ukrainian general: In Operation Vivaldi, Russia's Rubicon went from hunter to target
Biletskyi, commander of Ukraine's Third Corps, says Russia's Rubicon drone unit became a target during Operation Vivaldi and its morale fell sharply. As the operation ends, he is handing the corps to an acting commander.
Biletskyi, the Ukrainian general commanding the Third Corps, says that during Operation Vivaldi the Russian unit Rubicon, which hunts Ukrainian drone pilots, became a target itself. According to him, the unit's morale dropped sharply. The claim matters because the threat to Ukrainian drone pilots is one of the live problems of the war.
Drones used without limit
Biletskyi noted that his corps spent drones without limit on every Rubicon position it found. The source excerpt gives no further figures on the operation.
Change of command
As the operation ends, Biletskyi is handing the Third Corps over to an acting commander. The excerpt does not say who will fill that role.
The statement is the commander's own assessment of how the operation went, and the source excerpt does not back it with independent confirmation or numerical data.
