412th Separate Brigade of Unmanned Systems Nemesis
412 Nemesis is a multidomain unit operating against ground, air, and maritime targets from tactical to operational depth. The unit disrupts the enemy’s offensive plans and imposes its own rules of combat operations.
History
The story of the Nemesis unit began in the fall of 2023, when a group of like-minded people came together around a bold idea: to create a unit that would fight in a new way. Its tactics would be based on heavy drone bombers and its own culture and combat system, developed from scratch.
Key stages of deployment:

21.02.2025 – the regiment’s fighters shot down a “shaheed” for the first time in the world with an interceptor drone
Spring 2025 – the Darknode unit of the Nemesis regiment became the first in Ukraine and the world to use “drone air defense”, ensuring the systematic and effective defeat of Russian “shaheeds”
