00:00:01We will launch a scalpel, lightning,
00:00:03supercams,
00:00:06or rather scalpels and lightning, supercams, you will see how these
00:00:10drones go out to perform real combat
00:00:13missions. Well, our task is to record all this for
00:00:16history, and also, going on a business trip to the reconnaissance
00:00:20Rubicon, we knew that we had the right to spend only
00:00:2324 hours with the guys from the center. This is how we will name our
00:00:27film.
00:00:35Looking ahead, let's say that the day stretched out, but now everyone
00:00:39works like that, so will we. So, this is military
00:00:43acceptance,
00:00:44let's go.
00:00:47Nebistat,
00:01:15Zvezda TV channel is on air, military acceptance, we
00:01:18are rushing at full speed, probably
00:01:2280 kilometers per hour, on such a road, in essence,
00:01:25this is a corridor closed by nets, that is, the road from above,
00:01:29left, right. It is closed by nets from drones, from FPV
00:01:33drones, from unmanned aircraft. They built
00:01:36a road there, these are engineering troops, engineering
00:01:40troops, they say with gratitude, the servicemen
00:01:44of Rubicon, yes, with
00:01:45gratitude.
00:01:48They made it for a long time, no, I'm surprised how they
00:01:52built all this, because every day I
00:01:54observed servicemen who
00:01:58a section of 500... meters to a kilometer
00:02:01were building with such incredible speed,
00:02:05that our gratitude goes to them. Our interlocutor, Captain with the
00:02:09call sign Yenisey, commander of the reconnaissance and strike group of the
00:02:13Rubicon center, a professional reconnaissance officer, he will become our
00:02:16guide on the Rubicon positions. So,
00:02:19a day of continuous work lies ahead, it's
00:02:228:00 PM, time has started. The goal of our
00:02:25trip for today. We are moving to the positions of the
00:02:29Scalpel crew. We will use the loitering
00:02:32munition Scalpel in free hunting. The concept of free
00:02:36hunting was borrowed by drones from pilots. For example,
00:02:40our attack aircraft worked in Syria. In pairs, they took off
00:02:43from the Hmeim airbase to a given area, hunted there
00:02:47for everything in a row, using, as a rule,
00:02:50unguided air-launched
00:02:53missiles. At Rubicon, the situation is
00:02:57similar, only the accuracy of strikes is expected to be
00:03:00much higher, the name Scalpel itself says
00:03:03it all. Let's go into the house, here, as we
00:03:07understand, no one lives
00:03:10anymore, except for the guys,
00:03:13let's go into the kitchen, this is how
00:03:17the guys live, we see that all
00:03:19the windows are sealed in such a way that it's not visible whether
00:03:23the light is on or not when you are outside. We
00:03:27are more afraid of FPVs or...
00:04:00The guys have a huge number of cables,
00:04:03sockets, a shower, a boiler, a washing
00:04:06machine, what else does a soldier need
00:04:09at the front? Here is a heater, this is
00:04:12for when it gets winter and cold,
00:04:14respectively some
00:04:18units, engines,
00:04:21wings, something else, unmanned aerial
00:04:25vehicles and
00:04:28endless
00:04:30wires going up and down the staircase, the
00:04:34conditions are such that on the one hand you can live and work comfortably
00:04:37here, on the other hand, it's not a shame to throw away all these
00:04:41things, except perhaps the microphone, at the
00:04:44moment when it's time to change positions, look
00:04:48at this, a normal apartment on one of the
00:04:51upper floors, here is this launch
00:04:55pad, this is for this
00:04:58scalpel now. This x-shaped
00:05:01unmanned aerial vehicle
00:05:05loitering loitering munition is
00:05:08being received. go ahead and record it.
00:05:145 kg.
00:05:175 kg. The target we will
00:05:19work on
00:05:22is the enemy's temporary deployment point. A temporary deployment point is a temporary
00:05:25dislocation point. Most likely, because free
00:05:28hunting is always luck. If we manage to detect
00:05:32disguised temporary deployment points, that's good. If we come across a convoy
00:05:35or some other transport, even better. Let's
00:05:39first show where the warhead is? Here is the warhead.
00:05:42It is not yet armed, what is this,
00:05:45cumulative, no, this is thermobaric,
00:05:49a thermobaric munition,
00:05:51distance up to 100 km, as we
00:05:54were told, and one of the features of the scalpel is
00:05:57that when the weather is
00:06:00bad outside, strong wind, when other
00:06:02reconnaissance drones fly with great difficulty and cannot even fly
00:06:06at all, the scalpel can in principle
00:06:09be used not as a strike drone, but as a
00:06:13reconnaissance drone, but now the weather is
00:06:16suitable, the weather is suitable, and this means
00:06:20that the scalpel will be used for its intended purpose, as
00:06:24a strike drone, so, its X-shaped wings
00:06:27are spread, communication has begun, it can take off,
00:06:30the time is 10:00 PM.
00:06:34With a hiss, like a rocket, the scalpel descends
00:06:37from the guide, let's show this process
00:06:40again, pay attention, the starting position
00:06:44of the Rubicon is chosen so
00:06:47that the probability of being detected by the enemy tends to
00:06:51zero, look what is happening now,
00:06:54we are leaving the position not
00:06:57because it is very dangerous, but because
00:07:00the starting point and the control point
00:07:03are separated, that is, we launched
00:07:07the scalpel in one place, and they control
00:07:10this loitering munition in
00:07:14another, and we won't say in what other place, in another house, in another area, in
00:07:18another quarter, it doesn't matter, in another
00:07:20place, and there's another small detail,
00:07:24while we are inside the buggy,
00:07:27there, in the cabin, someone
00:07:30is constantly there from the guys, watching the
00:07:33sky, well, it's clear that all this is at high
00:07:37speeds, we don't stop, we rush, we
00:07:40rush through an abandoned inhabited area like a field, dense
00:07:44vegetation presses the buggy from all sides, and that's good, it
00:07:48hides us from reconnaissance
00:07:50drones.
00:07:57Well, finally we arrived at the control point,
00:08:00we go underground, here there is also a small
00:08:04kitchen, a refrigerator, a cabinet, here
00:08:08it is, ta-da-da-dam, the holy of holies, or rather
00:08:11here it is... For understanding what is
00:08:14happening here, here you can already work two fairy tales without
00:08:18a bulletproof vest, the operator, here he is now controlling
00:08:21the scalpel, your neighbor, what does he do, the
00:08:25same thing, aims at the target, yes, yes, yes, yes, usually a combat crew
00:08:29consists of two operators and a commander, today, with
00:08:32the arrival of the press, in the commander's seat
00:08:35is Yenisey himself. We will take the temporary deployment point, usually he
00:08:39is in another, so to speak, more senior position.
00:08:45Who do you constantly communicate with? The squad commander designates the
00:08:48overall area and relevance for the next
00:08:52day, then I already have means, these are
00:08:55strike reconnaissance officers, and I simply begin to execute the overall
00:08:59plan. The guys peer into the monitor, guide the bird to
00:09:02the target, open spaces are replaced by forest belts,
00:09:06the first 30 km have been covered, and this means that
00:09:09the scalpel will soon go to...
00:09:44What do we know about Rubicon? It was created in 2024
00:09:48as a testing center for promising unmanned
00:09:51technologies based on the famous Sudoplatovites. There is
00:09:55little information about how Rubicon is organized, where its
00:09:59units are based, but there are many
00:10:03videos of combat operations. Before you is the Telegram channel of the center,
00:10:06a popular channel with thousands of subscribers.
00:10:10By the way, we advise you to subscribe to it, here is a kind of
00:10:13success journal, which contains thousands of videos showing
00:10:17how Rubicon fighters destroy artillery
00:10:19installations, armored vehicles, electronic warfare systems
00:10:23and radar stations,
00:10:55the very scalpel that left, our
00:10:58crew's work is organized as follows: there is a control operator who
00:11:02monitors the instruments and the main process itself, this is the senior
00:11:05operator, he navigates the terrain, yes, he navigates
00:11:09the terrain and guides the operator who directly controls
00:11:12the scalpel in his hands, these are the hands of the driver,
00:11:16yes, accelerator-brake, turn, figuratively
00:11:19speaking.
00:11:55At first there were questions, Gigachat, what is
00:11:58written here? With Gigachat, it's just 16 tenses.
00:12:01Gigachat, I passed everything automatically, fire, set a new
00:12:05target. Gigachat, for you it's all
00:12:09simple. Legendary benefit.

00:13:25bonuses, charge into the game, win cool prizes at
00:15:05Meanwhile, the scalpel crosses the front line, then begins
00:15:08a dangerous zone where enemy air defense systems and electronic warfare stations
00:15:12operate. You know what happens as
00:15:15the scalpel approaches closer and closer to
00:15:18the target, excitement appears, before that it was like, guys,
00:15:22not shaky, not wobbly, they were watching, now everyone is gathered.
00:15:25Everyone is waiting for something, something, something, something
00:15:28to happen, after all, free hunting is
00:15:31hunting in the first place, operators are
00:15:35more actively switching modes.
00:16:37goes here, here is contact, he went left,
00:16:41left, here is the signature, yes, yes, that's it, let's go in
00:16:45then, now we'll turn around, and how did you see this
00:16:48signature, experience, experience, silhouette, outline
00:16:51of equipment, the picture shakes, its quality
00:16:54drops, operator with call sign brilliant
00:16:58delivers a verdict, oh,
00:17:01wait, what was shot down, it seems the scalpel was shot down,
00:17:05but not dead, at its last gasp. The scheme has many advantages:
00:17:18the ability to fly in a wide range of speeds, high maneuverability,
00:17:22stability with small dimensions and stable flight in strong
00:17:25winds. Military Acceptance is on air, it's
00:17:292:00 AM, we are still working with the guys from Rubicon and now we will
00:17:33launch another scalpel, caught
00:17:37it, caught it.
00:18:07that the launch is delayed, but there are reasons for that,
00:18:11Rubicon specialists communicate with neighboring units so that
00:18:15the scalpel at launch is not shot down by their own, mistaking it for
00:18:18the enemy, ready for
00:18:19launch.
00:18:23The command "ready for launch" was heard, immediately
00:18:26the operator took the controls with his fingers,
00:18:30now as soon as it flies, the first second of flight,
00:18:33watch the hands, start, start, start,
00:18:382 plus means that scalpel number two has started
00:18:41working,
00:18:43the operator at the console immediately takes control of it,
00:18:47the loitering munition obediently gains altitude,
00:18:50thank you, guys, you are the best, took off, that's it, yes,
00:18:54took off, everything is normal with our operator, the munition is in
00:18:57the air, we are preparing to smash the enemy, from your
00:19:01experience the most interesting cases with the scalpel,
00:19:04the most interesting case is of course the destruction of Caesar. Caesar is
00:19:08a NATO 155 mm caliber howitzer,
00:19:12as they say here, a fat target,
00:19:15however, the collection of fat Rubicon successes does not
00:19:18end there, every case is always the most
00:19:21interesting, I had the most interesting case when we were working,
00:19:25we saw the enemy's UAV crew, who
00:19:29was coming out of the house, picking it up, hiding in
00:19:32the building, the enemy was picking it up, the enemy, that's right, yes,
00:19:35the enemy, we saw him.
00:20:18has been used for a long time, the first such widely
00:20:21used loitering munition was the Lancet from
00:20:24Zala. Of course, Rubicon works with Lancets, but
00:20:27today the scalpel is in the arsenal, so they are launching it. In
00:20:31addition, at the alternate airfield, another drone with X-shaped
00:20:35wings is being prepared for takeoff. YOLKA,
00:20:38well, let's show YOLOCHKA,
00:20:41here is a small YOLOCHKA, it's not cold,
00:20:45in summer in this place, it's
00:20:48an interceptor drone. Can I take it in my hands now? Yes, you can take it, it's not
00:20:52loaded, nothing, it's loaded, everything, but it's not powered, so I'll just
00:20:55take it, yes, you can demonstrate it. Compared
00:20:58to the scalpel, YOLOCHKA is smaller, weighs only 2
00:21:02kg, speed up to 220
00:21:05km/h. But its small size is rather a plus.
00:21:09It provides speed, maneuverability and stealth. For
00:21:12example, in these shots, the Rubicon YOLOCHKA deals with
00:21:15a rare dangerous strike drone from the Ukrainian Armed Forces,
00:21:19Darts, which is heading deep into central Russia.
00:21:22However, today we will not launch YOLKA,
00:21:25it's 5:00 AM, everything is like in
00:21:28the song, dawn is coming soon, we have
00:21:31no other choice but to turn the key
00:21:34and fly away.
00:21:39And so we are flying in a buggy through the already familiar village to the starting
00:21:42platform of another unmanned aerial vehicle,
00:21:45Molniya Air, R means reconnaissance,
00:21:49it's interesting that there are many roads in good
00:21:53condition, despite the fact that the city is generally broken
00:21:56and bombed, well, of course, the buggy
00:22:00absorbs all these bumps, but
00:22:03still, by some miracle, many roads
00:22:06remained on which you can drive, we leave behind
00:22:10a series of battle-scarred buildings, ahead are parts of trees, tall
00:22:14bushes, we stop, and
00:22:16suddenly we hear a sound that makes us raise
00:22:20our heads, above us the sound of
00:22:22an engine.
00:22:28What is that? That's Geran, Geran,
00:22:31ours. For a couple of seconds it was very
00:22:34unpleasant,
00:22:37when we didn't understand yet if it was ours or not ours, now
00:22:40all attention is on Molniya R, a new short-range reconnaissance
00:22:44aircraft with stable communication, although the term
00:22:47"universal" is more appropriate for it. Such lightning.
00:22:51is being transformed from a reconnaissance aircraft into a strike aircraft, its main
00:22:54feature is its cheapness,
00:22:57cheapness, mass production and simplicity of
00:22:59use. So, you get the first samples
00:23:03for testing, right? Yes, samples
00:23:05are sent for testing, if the testing is successful, we
00:23:09start working on them, we always provide
00:23:12the most competent and well-structured
00:23:16feedback to the factories, and the factories improve
00:23:20their products based on your requirements, our
00:23:23requirements, yes, look, such an unusual situation,
00:23:27now the serviceman
00:23:30takes off his body armor,
00:23:33it's supposedly not allowed, but he takes off his helmet too, why, let's explain,
00:23:37it is necessary to calibrate the magnetometer,
00:23:41so that the board during flight understands its position in
00:23:44space, roll pitch direction relative to
00:23:47the magnet. To do this, all
00:23:51metal objects must be
00:23:55removed, all electronics from pockets must be removed,
00:23:58that is, now there is absolutely no
00:24:00metal there, we, by the way, are also
00:24:04at a certain distance, our cameras,
00:24:08our microphones, our helmets,
00:24:10body armor, there are metal elements everywhere, this
00:24:14should not be, so, calibration is completed, the lightning
00:24:18is placed on the catapult and pro...
00:25:02could not fly in terms of the engine, its path is still limited by communication, that's why Rubicon mostly
00:25:06uses those drones that have
00:25:09electric motors. In the radio, we hear instructions for
00:25:13launch, at this moment there is no explosive
00:25:16on board, only cameras, taking off.
00:25:20Although no, not taking off, it happens that
00:25:23not everything happens as it should
00:25:27be, and this is understandable, the guys are working with new
00:25:30samples that are actually being tested here on the battlefield,
00:25:33that is, they are among the first,
00:25:37or perhaps even the very first, to receive
00:25:40these samples, they explain to me that the problem is not
00:25:44with the drone, but with the settings of the launcher for it,
00:25:47I change the launcher. launcher.
00:26:32and preparing for a new takeoff,
00:26:35cool, God loves a trinity, on the third attempt
00:26:38the scout goes into the sky,
00:26:39hooray.
00:26:44What happens after a successful launch, you already know, buggy,
00:26:48road and racing on it at maximum speed towards the control
00:26:52point.
00:26:55The advantages of Lightning are that it is very simple in its
00:26:59operation, very strong.
00:28:03Yes, because before the appearance of supercams, we only knew
00:28:06about reconnaissance drones like
00:28:10Orlan and other drones,
00:28:13we didn't even know about them, it's hard to believe, I saw a very
00:28:16surprised operator, he thought I wouldn't come back,
00:28:20it's impossible to imagine, a shell flew in, I was pulled out, you
00:28:23definitely can't do that, driving through a minefield, it's
00:28:27a special feeling, it seems that
00:28:29you can't, the commander of a tank
