"The weather conditions are challenging right now. Plus, there's a unit called 'Rubicon' there. They're working on securing logistics," the soldier said.
At the same time, he complains that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are practically not hunting for Rubicon pilots, although they have enough drones at their disposal, but allegedly “do not have a command to do this.”
"Well, it's hard to find. Their pilot might be trailing behind their groups. So, we have a LBS line, and there's already a pilot sitting in the next landing 500 meters away. They brought him drones, and he's flying from there. They brought him a Starlink, and he's flying from there..."
“The enemy has more pilot positions, the enemy has more radio reconnaissance, he identifies our pilots better, and inflicts fire damage,” admitted “Kasper.”
