Inside the Ukrainian drone unit controlling Russian-occupied Crimea’s highways
Russian logistics continued to be hunted by Ukrainian drones on a daily basis, but Kyiv's advantage is not set in stone
Inside the Ukrainian drone unit controlling Russian-occupied Crimea’s highways, the 422nd Unmanned Systems Regiment operates heavy suicide drones known as Zozulia. These drones, produced by Ukrainian company Warbirds, feature rudimentary engines and operate remotely via satellite internet. Crew member Honey Badger, who has extensive experience flying smaller drones, emphasizes the importance of adapting to new technologies and finding creative solutions in the face of limited resources.
The Zozulia, along with other drones like the Ram-2X, Bulava, and Hornet, is part of a strategic campaign to strike targets deep in the Russian rear, particularly in the occupied southern region. This effort has been crucial in disrupting Russian logistics and forcing the enemy to treat the Ukrainian unit with greater caution.
