    Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s appointment of Robert “Madyar” Brovdi as Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces has formalized the frontline role of one of the country’s most prolific drone warfighters.

    Brovdi, who led the elite aerial reconnaissance unit “Birds of the Madyar,” was tapped for the top drone command in late May, replacing Vadym Sukharevskyi. Known for his aggressive style, Brovdi’s unit had already gained national attention for pioneering Ukraine’s FPV (First-Person-View) drone assaults against entrenched Russian positions.

  7. “Those plans quickly moved from paper to the battlefield. On June 1, Ukrainian FPV drones struck strategic air bases in four Russian regions as part of Operation Spiderweb”

    Ignoring statements by Zelenskyy himself that the operation had been prepared for over a year. That statement may have not been true but meant to heigthen Russian paranoia as to how long Ukrainians agents can move within Russia undetected, but it is still not a high point of journalism.
