Ukrainian drone commander claims key role in Russian casualties

Ukrainian drone commander Robert Brovdi, leader of the military's Unmanned Systems Forces (SBS), has claimed that his units are responsible for a major share of Russian military casualties. Brovdi, a 50-year-old commander also known by the call sign "Madjar," heads the specialized drone branch established two years ago to coordinate Ukrainian unmanned aerial operations.

According to reports citing Ukrainian opinion polls, Brovdi has become one of the country's most prominent military leaders. In an interview with Norwegian media, Brovdi asserted that his forces inflict greater personnel losses on Russian troops than any other single Ukrainian unit, alleging that his branch accounts for nearly one in three Russian casualties. Unmanned systems have played an increasingly central role in Ukraine's defense strategy as both sides rely heavily on drone operations along the frontline.
