Russian interceptor units target Ukrainian relay UAVs to disable entire swarms simultaneously

Published 8 July 2026

Drone interceptor operators from Unit 116, 4th Military Base, on the Kherson axis have been specifically engaging Ukrainian relay and repeater UAVs rather than individual strike platforms. Destroying the relay node severs command-and-control for every drone currently airborne that depends on it, grounding or blinding the full group in a single engagement. The Two Majors channel flags the approach as an effective force-multiplier against Madyar’s units, whose platforms carry expensive onboard electronics that are also destroyed when the swarm loses guidance.
