Ukrainian Defense Forces are actively using Hornet UAVs to disrupt Russian military logistics, resulting in significant losses for Russian troops. The Hornet UAV, produced by Swift Beat LLC, features advanced guidance algorithms and high-quality imaging, allowing it to strike targets up to 150 km behind enemy lines. Videos of successful strikes on key transport routes, including the R-280 and H-20 highways, have circulated widely. Meanwhile, Russia has established a specialized drone unit, Rubicon, to counter Ukrainian UAVs, employing tactics to intercept signals and target Ukrainian drone operators.
