BARS-SARMAT patrols highway with counter-drone systems vs 'Hornet' UAVs

The post claims the BARS-SARMAT unit has increased patrols along the R-280 "Novorossiya" highway using counter-drone means to protect traffic and infrastructure from UAV attacks (named as American "Hornets"). This indicates an organized, route-based counter-UAV patrol tactic/force employment rather than ad-hoc air defense, suggesting evolving rear-area drone defense practices.
