A big blow to Russia
The Rubikon Center for Prospective Unmanned Technologies is recognized (also by the Ukrainian side) as one of the most effective Russian centers that research the possibilities of combat use of drones, develop tactics for their use and train military personnel.
It was established in mid-2024 on the basis of one of the subunits of the Russian drone forces participating in the war with Ukraine, as a response to the mass use of drones by the Ukrainian army.
