Kherson Weekly Special Edition

This special edition of Kherson Weekly examines three separate Russian unmanned systems units — each operating at a different echelon — to better understand how Russia is expanding its UAS units, what these units have and have not accomplished so far, and what they may or may not be capable of in the future.

At the lowest echelon, Delta Group is a smaller platoon- to company-sized unit currently undergoing expansion in capability after a long absence from social media.

At the battalion-level, the 18th Combined Arms Army has expanded the Roy Group into the Eskadron Unmanned Systems Battalion.

At the highest echelon, the 50th Unmanned Systems Brigade has recently formed and deployed to the Kherson region and across the front, carrying out missions at the direct command of the Russian General Staff.

Russia is currently expanding its Unmanned Systems Forces, Naval Infantry, Airborne Forces, and regular Army. The expansion is driven directly by Ukraine’s dominance of UAS operations and the need to develop equivalent or better capabilities in the same realm. In the realm of UAS, Russia is expanding their units by adding C-UAS capabilities to what were once smaller, less capable quadcopter-wielding drone teams. This expansion is occurring at all echelons, but with unequal access in capabilities.

It had been since the August 2025 rotation of Russian troops in and out of the Kherson Direction that the Delta Group has posted anything, leading me to wonder if they hadn’t been sent to Donetsk or Zaporizhzhia like their accomplices in the 70th Motor Rifle Division and the 104th VDV Division.

However, the footage published on 23 March clearly indicates that the group is still in the Kherson Direction — and they are expanding their capabilities.

In previously released footage from Delta Group, only FPV quadcopter drones had been observed in use. The group infamously gained an advantage in late Summer 2025, receiving repeater technology from the Rubicon-connected Hateful 8 group. This allowed them to effectively shut down the Mykolaiv-Kherson Highway, forcing Ukraine to hastily construct anti-drone netting and a traffic light system to warn drivers of incoming Russian drone attacks.

Now, the Delta Group can be seen using interceptor drones, FPV quadcopters, Koshchei make-shift heavy bombers, Mavics, Lancets, and various ISR UAVs. Keeping true to form, the group returned to their lengthy compilation format.

I’ve broken down the video and geolocated some clips in order to highlight some important segments of the compilation.

Much remains to be seen with Delta Group’s new trajectory as a multifaceted drone unit, a far cry from the FPV strike group they were just over a year ago. As of writing, the Delta Group has not posted anything more.

On 23 February, the Roy Group, a drone unit who has been carrying out terror on civilians in Kherson for almost two whole years now, announced that they had reformed, increased in size, and became the Eskadron BBpS (Battalion of Unmanned Systems). The unit is still subordinate to the 18th Combined Arms Army (CAA).

The expansion of specific drone units seems to becoming a trend across the Russian Armed Forces, as Russia seeks to find parity with Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS) and battalion- and regimental- sized drone units organic to other brigades not subordinate to the SBS.

With an increase in unit size, comes an increased demand on sustainment and logistics. In the Kherson region, sustaining large drone units may prove somewhat challenging, given the expanding middle-strike capability of Ukraine, which seeks to disrupt these logistical life-lines keeping Russia’s drone units flying. See Tochnyi’s latest deep-dive into the expanding middle-strike campaign, complete with a brand new interactive map, here.

The change has brought with it access to Vandal fiber-optic drones, which have not been seen in footage previously released by the unit. Their first video after reformation featured the first fiber-optic video released by the group.

On 23 February, the group released footage of a fiber-optic FPV quadcopter strike on a police car in Centralnyi Raion. The footage makes use of two photos taken from the Kherson Police report from the same day.

As a result of the strike, a 48-year-old Senior Inspector for Special Assignments from the Kherson Police was wounded. He suffered a shrapnel wound to the forehead and acoustic barotrauma.

It does seem that the expansion of these units can allow for an obvious increase in volume of Russian FPV strikes.

This seems to roughly correlate to the spring-time increase in drone attacks in Kherson. Mid-late March saw week-on-week increases of 1000+ drone strikes, posting the first-ever recorded 3000+ and 4000+ weekly drone attack totals.

The group, known to mostly carry out FPV quadcopter strikes, has continued to target the civilian population. Typically, we had seen this group working in the center of the city, however this deadly strike on 29 March happened on the west side of the city in Korabelnyi Raion.

Video: Eskadron Unmanned Systems Battalion

Earlier in the first week of the month of March, the group attacked the volunteer Khrystyna from World Aid Runners and later posted the video of the attack.

Video: Eskadron Unmanned Systems Battalion

The group posted a video the next day of Khrystyna describing the attack on her and the broader Human Safari. In her interview with local media, Khrystyna described the perpetrators as “terrorists and occupiers”. Eskadron offered only a threat in emojis, posting a pig emoji and an animated shooting emoji.

Video: Eskadron Unmanned Systems Battalion

World Aid Runners founder, Ben Dusing, reshared the footage with context on his personal Instagram page, explaining how Khrystyna was attacked. Thankfully, she was unharmed.

Video: Ben Dusing

However, Eskadron’s attacks on civilians did not stop there. On 31 March, the group posted a video on Telegram in which a fiber optic FPV strikes a red van. Two unarmed men wearing plate carriers and civilian clothing escape the vehicle, while the Russian video is edited to zoom in on each man. The caption and the editing of the video implies that people in the city wearing personal protective equipment are military targets — a trope long pushed by other Human Safari accounts like Osvedomitell Alex.

Video: Eskadron Unmanned Systems Battalion

Using the racist epithet “Mykola” to refer to Ukrainians generally, the group and Osvedomitell Alex both taunted the men. Eskadron linked their post to a “teaser” posted by Osvedomitell Alex prior to him posting the full video.

It must be clearly stated that wearing personal protective equipment absolutely does not make one a military target. In fact, many volunteers, social workers, and municipal employees wear helmets and plate carriers in order to protect themselves from shrapnel resulting from indiscriminate Russian strikes.

Friend of Kherson Weekly and founder of the Anti-Human Safari Project, Liska Crofts, often shares the distribution of such plate carriers and drone detectors to first responders, volunteers, social workers, and other essential civilian personnel still keeping life going in the besieged city.

Looking ahead into April and May, Eskadron has expanded their targets to those typically sought after by other Human Safari drone groups — police officers, petrol stations, and Ukrainian drones.

On 5 April, Eskadron posted footage of the killing of Kherson Police Captain, Vitalii Kukharchuk.

Being an officer in a police rifle battalion, this attack on Kukharchuk may not have been a war crime, but it still fits the larger pattern of Russian drone groups attacking police — both legal combatants and those still serving a civilian officers.

On 30 April, the group posted footage of a strike on a petrol station — the BRSM-Nafta station off the Mykolaivske Highway in the Pivnichnyi District.

Most recently, the Eskadron Battalion has entered into the low-altitude C-UAS realm, displaying on 6 May, that much like Delta Group, they have gained interceptor drones. The caption lists the drones intercepted in order of appearance.

Video: Eskadron Unmanned Systems Battalion

More remains to be seen as to how Eskadron continues to expand their capabilities, as the group has not publicly posted since posting this last compilation. The level of their success in the Kherson Direction may prove vital when examining Russia’s current attempt at expanding it’s Unmanned Systems Forces at every echelon.

Photo: 50th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

The emergence of the newly formed 50th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade of the Supreme High Command is an alarming development that indicates Putin’s desire to expand Russia’s deadly UAS capabilities in the Kherson direction and across the entire front.

The Brigade is, by name, directly commanded by the Russian General Staff, the Chief being Valeriy Gerasimov.

Varyag even describes themselves as “a direct subordinate unit, designed to solve strategic tasks”.

This may suggest that the 50th Unmanned Systems Brigade is actually a General Staff-patented copy or competitor to the Ministry of Defense’s own Rubicon Center of Unmanned Systems. This could indicate a power struggle between Chief of the General Staff Valeriy Gerasimov and the Defense Minister Andrey Belousov.

Belousov has been hands-on with his management of the Rubicon Unmanned Systems Center and brought a business-informed approach to managing the Russian Ministry of Defense. This is in stark contrast to the archaically corrupt Sergei Shoigu, whom Belousov replaced in mid-2024.

Gerasimov has been Chief of the General Staff since 2012 and is himself of that same archaically corrupt ilk.

Milblogger Konstantin Mashovets offered an interpretation of the situation:

Varyag first posted on Telegram on 13 February, introducing themselves and launching a recruitment campaign for those looking to “go on the hunt”.

Their introduction also was accompanied by a video, depicting an AI animated warrior delivering a speech about the qualities of a warrior and describing the slew of state benefits to a young prospect — their prime demographic for recruitment. A translation of the video can be found beneath.

Video: 50th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

Gerasimov appears to be doling out a considerable sum for each of these new recruits—nearly 2 million rubles per person. The General Staff can expect even greater expenses given the range of additional benefits promised to those who sign contracts with the 50th Brigade. That is, assuming the state follows through on those promises and the recruits live long enough to claim them.

Ironically, the ancient warrior depicted in the video declares that “a good leader shares the spoils fairly, without being greedy.” Putin, Russia’s oligarchs, and many Russian military officers are not known for such behavior.

Recall that in the first edition of Kherson Weekly, we wrote about the 70th Motor Rifle Division freezing in their positions near the Antonivskyi Bridge because their commanders had taken all of the winter clothing and volunteers’ donations for themselves. The FSB intervened and the command was replaced, but the situation persisted, pointing to the systemic corruption that pollutes the entire Russian military structure.

Their advertisements show that Gerasimov seeks a high-intelligence, tech-savvy, younger recruit to staff his instrument of drone terror.

“…the most important thing is a confident command of a PC. In “VARYAG”, a joystick and a keyboard are the same weapon as an automatic rifle”.

This is part of an emerging effort by the Russian military to recruit young men with university-level education to specifically join the Russian Unmanned Systems Forces.

In a training video released in early March, the group can be seen employing ZALA reconnaissance UAVs, FPVs quadcopters, Mavic 3 quadcopters, Molniya-2 fixed-wing UAVs, interceptor drones, and even an experimental variant of a bi-plane Molniya.

Video: 50th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

Despite having their identities concealed via blurs, many of the recruits seem very young. Additionally, brief interviews with masked personnel seem to also confirm that these are younger men well-acquainted with technology.

Being a full brigade of UAS units and having the nominal endorsement of the Russian Chief of the General Staff, Varyag brings with it a vast array of Russia’s best UAS capabilities. Although, from a critical standpoint, one may question the usefulness and the practicality of having all of these capabilities in one unit that clearly is not deployed together.

Unconfirmed reports from milblogger Konstantin Mashovets about Varyag’s structure may offer a clearer picture as to the capabilities of the unit and how they might be divvied up and deployed both to the main theatre of combat in Donetsk Oblast and to peripheral theatres in Kharkiv, Kherson, and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts.

Unlike many Russian drone groups, Varyag present a consistent format for their videos, complete with thoroughly timestamped hits on targets in each video — a practice borrowed from their Rubicon predecessors.

Another unique quality of the 50th Brigade is the incredible amount of fronts to which they have deployed. Elements of the unit have been geolocated by my fellow team members at Ukraine Daily Update Map, operating in both Kherson and Dnipropetrovsk Oblasts — and beyond. They appear to mainly responsible for an area extending from the cities of Nikopol and Marhanets all the way to Kherson city — roughly a 300 kilometer front — while their presence in other areas suggests the unit’s components have been moved around the entire frontline to “solve strategic tasks”. Or perhaps to plug holes in the Russian Armed Forces capability gaps.

Varyag posted its first video of true combat footage on 30 March, showcasing both Yolka interceptor drones and Molniya-2 fixed-wing strike UAVs. The interceptions were not able to be geolocated as the videos were mostly taken from the ground and not from the interceptor’s camera. However, the Molniya strikes were able to be located to the coast and center of Nikopol, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast.

The Molniya strikes at 0:30 and 1:24 are on the same communications tower near the top of the map. Towards the bottom, the Molniya strikes at 0:50 and 0:59 were geolocated to a large, presumably wealthy, riverside home. The unit claimed it was

Their deadliest attack to date occurred on 04 April, when the group struck the central market in Nikopol, killing 5 and wounding 28 other civilians. The attack on the marketplace can be seen from 01:20-01:24 in the video.

The 50th Brigade later tried to cover their tracks by deleting this footage from the post and uploaded the following version of the video. Ukraine Daily Update Map makes an archive copy of videos for this exact reason — to remove the Russian’s abilities to cover their tracks.

Video: 50th Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

To bring the focus back to Kherson, Ukraine Daily Update geolocated the unit operating both within and near Kherson city during the same week. The 50th Brigade’s strategic purpose in both of these peripheral theatres appears to be extending Human Safari-style tactics across the entire Dnipro River.

Video: 50th Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

Geolocations by giK for Ukraine Daily Update Map

At 0:13, a Russian Molniya strikes an apartment complex in Centralnyi Raion in Kherson city. The unit claimed to have hit a Ukrainian drone launch point.

Later, at 1:50, another Molniya strikes a building in Mykilske, to the east of Kherson. Varyag claimed to have hit a deployment point of Ukrainian forces.

These strikes were not confirmed to have caused any civilian casualties.

On 29 April, Varyag released footage of a strike in the Black Sea against a Ukrainian unmanned surface vehicle (USV). The unit used a Lancet loitering munition — the same tactic employed by the infamous Hateful 8 drone group last summer. Just as Delta Group learned to use signal retranslators to extend FPV drone ranges beyond 25 kilometers from the Hateful 8 group, Varyag appears to have learned much from this older, elite Russian drone group with connections to Rubicon. This further suggests that the 50th Brigade could be a General Staff-patented copy of the Ministry of Defense’s Rubicon.

Video: 50th Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

The 50th Separate Brigade “Varyag” destroyed an enemy USVOn April 28, an enemy USV under the control of the Armed Forces of Ukraine attempted an attack on the Crimean Peninsula.
Our unit detected the target with the help of a “Zala” unit, and the information about the enemy’s location was transmitted to a “Lancet” loitering munition unit, which successfully eliminated the enemy.

Interestingly, the unit is using ZALA reconnaissance UAVs, whereas Hateful 8 had access to the more advanced Inokhodets UAV. As Mashovets reported, Varyag only had access to 4 Inokhodets UAV teams. The lack of this capability in this theatre and reliance on an inferior platform could be evidence of it’s structure and piecemeal deployment to several theatres being a significant weakness.

Varyag’s brigade structure appears to integrate its ISR and strike UAV components effectively enough to respond, interdict and destroy at least some Ukrainian USVs. Although, the success of Ukrainian strikes on the port of Novorossiysk, on targets in Crimea, and strikes on shipping in the Black Sea would suggest their current strategy has limited effectiveness.

The 50th’s capabilities also extend to strikes against targets far behind the front line in what seems to be an attempt to replicate the effects of Ukraine’s emerging middle strike and deep strike capabilities. Varyag employs long-range strike UAS capabilities to target high-value assets deep in the Ukrainian rear using Shahed UAVs. With the release of this footage, Varyag expanded its known area of operations to include two additional peripheral theatres: Mykolaiv and Kharkiv.

Video: 50th Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

Previously, drone units operating in the southern Dnipro River Delta had never been observed integrating ISR and deep strike capabilities on such a scale or across such a broad front.

More commonly, drone groups attached to Russian infantry brigades were responsible either for all UAS operations across a defined sector of the front —typically 10–15 kilometers wide — or for a specific set of tasks within a much smaller designated area. Both iterations lacked the ability to scale operations in the same manner that a single UAS-focused brigade can offer, which suggests their may be some strategic effect provided by its structure.

Examples of the former include the Tourists and Combat Bums Groups of the 61st Guards Naval Infantry Brigade and the Pioneers Group of the 80th Arctic Motor Rifle Brigade. The 80th was responsible for UAS operations from Stanislav to Tomyna Balka, while the 61st oversaw operations from Tomyna Balka to Bilozerka. The Phobos Team, formerly of the 17th Tank Regiment of the 70th Motor Rifle Division, is a good example of the latter. Its mission was to interdict the eastern approaches to Kherson, strike fuel stations, and conduct FPV reconnaissance in support of VKS airstrikes against targets such as the Kherson Oblast Administration building exactly one year ago.

Neither formation had access to deep strike UAVs that could attempt to produce a strategic effect, rather groups like Delta and Phobos used repeaters to allow their FPV drones to consistently strike at a depth of 25-30 kilometers. In the case of Delta and Phobos, they produced a strategic effect of locking off the eastern and western approaches to Kherson city in late 2025. This ended however upon the redeployment of Phobos to Donetsk Oblast and the construction of anti-drone netting along the Kherson-Mykolaiv highway.

More recently, on 01 May, the 50th Brigade demonstrated a new capability: interceptor drones capable of downing Ukrainian middle- and long-range strike UAVs.

Video: 50th Unmanned Systems Brigade “VARYAG”

Both Lyutyi and R-15 UAVs were intercepted in this video. Covert Shores’ “Guide To Ukraine’s Long Range Attack Drones” offers detailed descriptions of both.

[The R-15 is] An unswept-flying wing design with single propeller in tractor (front mounted) configuration and twin tails. This is smaller than most of the other ‘long range’ drones being only 1.2 meters long, with a wingspan of around 2.4 meters. The type is associated with Ukrainian philanthropist and volunteer Serhiy Prytula. In May 2023 the type was apparently used in an attack on the Ilsky refinery in Krasnodar Krai. Then in March 2024 it appeared again during large-scale attacks involving multiple types.

This capability truly sets Varyag apart from other drone groups such as Delta and Eskadron, which are only beginning to demonstrate FPV interceptor capabilities. These battalion-sized formations are controlled at the Combined Arms Army echelon, whereas the 50th Brigade is directly subordinate to the General Staff. Most drone units in the Russian military currently lack interceptor formations. However, it will be important to determine whether the 50th Brigade can adapt and scale it across its broad area of operations to counter Ukraine’s largely unfettered middle- and long-range strike campaigns.

Since releasing its first interceptor drone video on 01 May, Varyag has published three additional videos showing nearly two dozen claimed interceptions of Ukrainian strike UAVs.

If successfully scaled, this capability appears to offer at least a partial solution to the growing problem, but the limits of the 50th’s structure and breadth of their deployment make that event unlikely. Russia continues to face significant challenges in protecting logistics and rear-area infrastructure from Ukrainian drone strikes as they currently lack a scalable solution.

As Two Marines’ latest article on Rubicon’s organizational structure demonstrates, Rubicon-connected units elsewhere along the front have employed similar large-scale force structures to considerable effect. Whether Gerasivmov’s brigade can replicate the success of Belousov’s Rubicon detachments or distinguish itself as something unique remains to be seen.

Russia is facing an organizational dilemma in its expansion of its Unmanned Systems Forces. Brigade-sized UAS formations possess an array of capabilities necessary for modern drone warfare, including ISR UAVs, heavy strike UAVs, heavy quadcopters, fixed-wing FPVs, Lancet-style loitering munitions, and interceptor drones capable of countering Ukraine’s middle-strike campaign. Lower-echelon formations, by contrast, benefit from operating in smaller, more clearly defined areas of responsibility, but lack significant capabilities to conduct operational- and strategic-level strikes or provide comprehensive C-UAS coverage to interdict Ukrainian middle-strikes.

Despite the benefits afforded to brigade-sized formations, piece-meal deployment of them across broad sectors of the front degrades the benefits of integrating all of these capabilities under a single command. While brigade-echelon interoperability offers greater flexibility, it also becomes increasingly difficult to coordinate ISR, strike, and air defense assets effectively over hundreds of kilometers of battlespace.

Ukraine appears to have addressed this challenge more successfully. Brigade- and regimental-sized formations such as the 426th Unmanned Systems Regiment have been employed within well-defined areas of operation, allowing them to integrate reconnaissance, strike, and C-UAS capabilities while maintaining operational cohesion. The 426th has been carrying out tactical- and operational- level strikes in occupied Kherson Oblast for two years now, while simultaneously fielding mobile-fire groups and drone interceptor teams to counter Russian operational and strategic UAV strikes. The regiment was originally part of the 140th Reconnaissance Battalion, became its own UAS battalion in 2024, and then successfully expanded into a regiment in late 2025.

Smaller units like Eskadron and Delta likely retain relatively better and stronger tactical coordination because they operate within more constrained areas of responsibility. Still these lower echelon units remain limited by their inability to field a spectrum of critical capabilities available to larger echelon UAS formations. Their kinetic C-UAS operations are generally restricted to engaging slower ISR and heavy bomber UAVs, while the absence of heavier strike systems such as the Geran and Gerbera limits their ability to conduct operational- or strategic-level strikes, leaving them largely confined to tactical missions with only limited operational reach through systems such as the Molniya fixed-wing FPV drone.

The 50th Brigade still represents one of Russia’s most ambitious attempts to consolidate these capabilities within a single formation. Whether it proves more effective than smaller, specialized drone groups will depend not only on the capabilities it fields, but also on how it is employed. If Varyag continues to operate across a battlespace stretching from the Black Sea to Kharkiv Oblast, the advantages of its supposedly integrated structure may be partially blunted by the challenges of coordinating assets over such an expansive front. Conversely, if concentrated within a more defined area of operations, it is possible that it could provide a model for Russia to organize large-scale unmanned systems formations in the future.
