Overview

• Investigators report that signage visible in Vladimir Solovyov’s filmed visit matched fixtures unique to Park Patriot, supporting claims the unit operates from the complex about 60 kilometers from Moscow.
• Radio Free Europe reporting, cited by Der Tagesspiegel, describes Rubicon as a well-funded but opaque formation absent from official databases with an unclear connection to the defense ministry.
• As of spring, seven elements of roughly 130–150 personnel were reported, with activity causing problems along much of the 1,100‑kilometer front.
• Ukrainian accounts and analyst Rob Lee link the unit’s operations to logistics disruption and pressure in areas including Kursk and Donbas, with one site reportedly losing nearly 70% of its drone operators in a week.
• Reports say Rubicon buys and develops drones, tests new tactics, and had a Moscow‑region training site reportedly struck by a Ukrainian drone in May, while any link between Park Patriot’s dropped Army‑2025 expo and the unit remains unconfirmed.
