Kremlin places $20 million bounty on Magyar's head due to losses from UAV forces
Russian special services, through criminal networks, announced a reward of $20 million for information on the whereabouts of the head of the SBS, Robert "Magyar" Brovda. The reason for this "assessment" was the extraordinary efficiency of the unit of the 414th separate brigade of the Unmanned Systems Forces: making up only 2.5% of the total number of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Brovda's fighters inflict about a third of all losses on the occupiers thanks to their self-built IT ecosystem.

This is stated in a report by The Wall Street Journal from the unit's secret command center, where security measures have reached the maximum level due to the threat of an assassination attempt on the commander - from the use of Faraday cages for guests' phones to driving cars with tinted windows.
The "Birds of the Magyar" unit generates and records 10 to 12 terabytes of data into the Delta combat control system every day, and a closed artificial intelligence system is used to process these arrays of information.
The brigade's control center is the Delta platform, which unites all drones, sensors, and firepower into a single space. Operators mark targets on an interactive map, and the nearest crews receive notifications about the call, similar to Uber.
"A symphony is being perfected in Ukraine, and we are teaching our partners the notes. We could give them this symphony, but they would not be able to appreciate it because they are looking for the best drone. The best drone today will become obsolete by the time it comes off the sluggish Western production lines," Brody emphasized.
The SBS says that because of the effectiveness of "Magyar", he and his subordinates became a target for the Russian Federation, and its intelligence services, through post-Soviet criminal networks, announced a reward of $ 20 million for information on the whereabouts of Brovdy. Because of the SBS military operations, courts in Russia also found him guilty of terrorism in absentia and sentenced him to ten years in prison.
ZV symbols visible from space drew SBS's attention to the Wildberries logistics hub in the Samara region. "Magyar" advised Russians not to expect "purple packages with vibrators" from there
