‘Code 9.2’: The secretive Ukrainian drone unit tasked with dropping mines into Russia

Their target is Russia itself, a powerful symbol of Kyiv’s decision to take the fight back to Moscow, and the dangerous escalatory turns this conflict is taking.

Dusk brings an urgent race to hide before dark. The “Code 9.2” drone unit, from the 92nd assault brigade, are moving into a new launch position from where they are about to conduct a rare and potent mission: flying drones into Russia and dropping mines onto key roads inside enemy territory.

Before operators Andrey and Artem can leave the bunker to begin work, a noise sends them rushing back in for cover. “Sssshhh,” Andrey hisses. “Orlan.” The only way to protect yourself from being seen by an Orlan – a spotter drone that can also have thermal cameras enabling it to see in the dark – is to hide. And to silently listen for it to pass. “They will be flying all night,” he says.
