Ukrainian 'Lazar' unit pioneered Starlink-linked heavy strike drone bombers

The post claims the NGU special unit "Lazar" (founded Oct 2022) created and fielded one of the first heavy strike drone units using Starlink communications, including a serial, reliable "Starlink-bomber" and an operational concept that scaled bomber drones from small raid tools into a mass, conveyor-like strike system across the front. It also describes a tactic/capability of wide-front reconnaissance and near-simultaneous destruction of large numbers of artillery pieces (e.g., 57 guns in one night), implying a coordinated drone-enabled kill chain.
