July 15, 2025

In the evolving landscape of hybrid warfare, cyber operations have become a critical front. A recent operation by the Ukrainian hacktivist group BO Team, in coordination with the Ukrainian Cyber Alliance and allegedly Ukraine’s military intelligence, targeted Gaskar Group, a prominent Russian drone manufacturer. The cyberattack, which resulted in the destruction of the company's server infrastructure and the theft of sensitive data, highlights the growing role of non-state cyber actors in modern conflicts. This incident underscores how digital sabotage can directly impact military supply chains, revealing the increasing convergence between cyber capabilities and kinetic warfare objectives.
