Ukraine Hits Russian Drone Nerve Centers and Logistics Networks

Ukraine’s Armed Forces have struck multiple Russian military sites, including elite drone units, logistics hubs, and a command post on Russian soil, according to a February 10 report from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Ukrainian defense units conducted a series of precision strikes on February 9–10, aimed at degrading Russia’s drone warfare capabilities and support infrastructure.

Among the most notable targets was a command post belonging to the “Rubikon” UAV center—considered one of the most advanced Russian drone formations.

According to Ukraine’s General Staff, the Rubikon-affiliated facility was hit near the occupied settlement of Vysoke in Zaporizhzhia region. The unit is described by Ukrainian officials and defense analysts as well-funded and capable, often associated with increased logistical challenges for Ukrainian troops in contested areas.

Another key target was a drone pilot training and FPV drone manufacturing center near Komysh-Zoria, also in occupied Zaporizhzhia. In the same region, Ukrainian forces struck a personnel concentration site near the village of Khliborobne.

In occupied Donetsk region, Ukrainian strikes impacted multiple targets: a Russian repair unit near Yalta and a field fuel and lubricant depot near Fedorivka.

Notably, Ukraine also conducted a strike across the border into Russia’s Kursk region. A UAV command post near the village of Tyotkino was reportedly hit, marking another instance of cross-border Ukrainian drone activity aimed at military infrastructure.

“The scale of damage and Russian losses is currently being assessed,” the Ukrainian General Staff stated. It added that systematic operations targeting Russia’s military infrastructure would continue as part of efforts to reduce the adversary’s combat potential.

Rubikon, the Russian drone unit named in the strikes, has appeared in open-source intelligence and Ukrainian reports as an elite formation specializing in FPV and reconnaissance drone operations. Its presence has been linked to operational challenges for Ukrainian units, particularly in logistics and mobility near front-line areas.

Earlier, on February 1, Ukrainian forces carried out a coordinated wave of strikes targeting Russian drone command centers, repair facilities, and troop concentrations in both occupied territories and within Russia’s Kursk and Bryansk regions, according to Ukraine’s General Staff.
