This was written by <strong><em data-start=\"463\" data-end=\"488\">The Wall Street Journal<\/em><\/strong> with reference to military sources.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"526\" data-end=\"529\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"531\" data-end=\"582\">Russia's Rubicon: an elite drone unit<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"583\" data-end=\"739\">According to the WSJ, Russia has created a specialised unit <strong data-start=\"639\" data-end=\"652\">\u00abRubicon\u00bb<\/strong>, which brought together the most experienced drone operators.<br data-start=\"706\" data-end=\"709\" \/><strong>The main objectives of this formation:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"845\">\n<li data-start=\"741\" data-end=\"780\">\n<p data-start=\"743\" data-end=\"780\">Ukrainian rear logistics

the Ukrainian defence system.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"931\" data-end=\"934\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"936\" data-end=\"963\">The Armed Forces of Ukraine have a shortage of drones<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"964\" data-end=\"1254\">The publication notes that Ukrainian drone and logistics units today <strong data-start=\"1043\" data-end=\"1094\">suffer more casualties than infantry on the front line<\/strong>.<br data-start=\"1095\" data-end=\"1098\" \/>The main reason is <strong data-start=\"1116\" data-end=\"1134\">lack of drones<\/strong> to counter Russia's new tactics and an insufficient number of aircraft for continuous airspace monitoring.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1256\" data-end=\"1413\">The journalists emphasise that Ukrainian troops are now forced to save drones and use them selectively, while Russia is actively increasing production.<\/p>\n<hr data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1418\" \/>\n<h2 data-start=\"1420\" data-end=\"1433\">Context.<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1434\" data-end=\"1666\">Ukraine dominated the \u00abdrone battle\u00bb for much of the war, combining technical innovation and networked approaches on the battlefield.<br data-start=\"1563\" data-end=\"1566\" \/>However, Russia's large-scale production of strike and reconnaissance UAVs is changing the balance in favour of the occupiers.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1668\" data-end=\"1789\">Analysts predict that in 2026, it will be the unmanned systems sector that will be crucial for the operational situation at the front.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u0423\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0430 \u0432\u0442\u0440\u0430\u0447\u0430\u0454 \u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0432\u0430\u0433\u0443 \u0443
