Putin's blundering TV propagandist gives away top secret location of Russia's most elite drone unit
Daily Mail ^ | 9/18/2025 | Will Stewart

Vladimir Putin’s blundering chief TV propagandist has given away the top secret location of Russia’s most elite drone unit.

An unburied toilet sign in a report by Vladimir Solovyov led to the Rubicon HQ being geolocated.

The trail leads to Hall D and part of Hall C at the Patriot Exhibition Centre, near Moscow.

The site has been already targeted by Ukrainian attack drones, and could be again.

Solovyov is a highly-paid state TV propagandist for Putin and the war - and the careless blunder failing to mask the toilet signs in a report about Rubicon is a huge embarrassment.

'Solovyov's editors forgot to blur the sign above the entrance to the restroom, which has a distinctive design, and the light board located above it, which, as can be seen from publicly available videos from Patriot, shows the word "restroom" in Russian and English,' said a report on Radio Liberty.

You just know this guy will suddenly commit “suicide” by jumping off a 20 story building somewhere in Moscow.

They can soon follow up by installing a sign that says “Open Latrine.”

WIKI

Shrapnel’s innovation was to combine the multi-projectile shotgun effect of canister shot, with a time fuze to open the canister and disperse the shot it contained at some distance along the canister’s trajectory from the gun. His shell was a hollow cast-iron sphere filled with a mixture of balls (“shot”) and powder, with a crude time fuze. If the fuze was set correctly then the shell would break open, either in front of or above the intended human objective, releasing its contents (of musket balls). The shrapnel balls would carry on with the “remaining velocity” of the shell. In addition to a denser pattern of musket balls, the retained velocity could be higher as well, since the shrapnel shell as a whole would likely have a higher ballistic coefficient than the individual musket balls (see external ballistics).

The explosive charge in the shell was to be just enough to break the casing rather than scatter the shot in all directions. As such his invention increased the effective range of canister shot from 300 metres (980 ft) to about 1,100 metres (3,600 ft).

The balls might be hardened and packed in napalm, so any bomb the drone carries would be likely to explode high in the air.

If it’s already been targeted, perhaps it wasn’t that secret.

“The site has been already targeted by Ukrainian attack drones...”

So this is fake news then, right.

---- "If it's already been targeted, perhaps it wasn't that secret."

Yup. The article gives a date -- "On May 22, a Ukrainian Liutyi drone targeted...."

The Daily Mail writes of this "top secret location" on 18 September. May to September.... Secret.... Top secret....

Ah, journalism from the British Press. Betcha many didn't look to the whole article...

From the end of the article:

'Russia had several strong strike [drone] units in Kursk, but Rubicon was the main one there. Because of this, Ukraine was unable to supply its troops normally,' Rob Lee, a former U.S. Marine officer who is now a military analyst with the Foreign Policy Research Institute, told Radio Liberty.

The Foreign Policy Research Institute is located in Philadelphia. That's in Pennsylvania, for those in Rio Lindo.

"They pour money into it,' she wrote in a Facebook post from August 21."
The "she" -- as the article tells -- is "Maria Berlinska, head of the Ukrainian Aerial Reconnaissance Support Centre, a nongovernment group that assists the military." Nifty information. For you, MarcusDailyMail, here is a pix:

That comes from this source: Situational awareness: the role of aerial reconnaissance during the war ...years of translating Ukraine's voice to the world We've spent 9 years capturing the soul of Ukraine — long before the headlines, and long after they fade. 28 December 2022

The referenced Facebook address is:

Центр підтримки аеророзвідки

That's also interesting, because they call themselves a "publishing house," and sell books oddly.

Ukraïner Publishing House
This is all interesting, in that the payment section of the set of links goes to a Ukrainian domain, while the remainder are a GoDaddy domain, nameservers showing it hosted out of San Francisco.

And Maria's email isn't hosted by the Ukrainian or GoDaddy domains, but rather she uses an American company. --- intelligence.aero@gmail.com

But she'll sell you some sweatshirts....

Ukraїner merch

May 22 to 18 September? That "top secret location" isn't top secret, and most probably isn't there.

If you've checked any of the links above, oddly those Ukrainian folks are spending their efforts in English. A lot.

Maybe he’ll get lucky, and it will only be 15 stories.

...On May 22...the sign above the entrance to the restroom...

Even before May 22, since the start of the Zelensky Regime, Uke HomoNazis have known the location of every men's toilet in Western and Eastern Europe, so it's never been a secret.
