The 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade 'Magyar's Birds' is the flagship unit Robert Brovdi (callsign 'Magyar') founded and built before being appointed commander of all Unmanned Systems Forces — one of Ukraine's most productive drone units by publicly claimed figures.
The unit grew from a volunteer drone formation that Brovdi (callsign "Magyar") led in the first years of the full-scale war. Developing into the 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Brigade, "Magyar's Birds" became a benchmark for scaling FPV and strike-UAV operations. After Brovdi's appointment as USF commander (3 June 2025), the brigade remains the core of the grouping.

Per the "Pidrakhuyka" board (sbs-group.army), cumulatively since the USF Grouping's creation the brigade claims 150 316 targets hit (73 903 destroyed), 44 033 enemy personnel losses, and over 272,000 strike sorties. Leading categories: personnel, enemy fixed-wing UAVs, shelters and dugouts, comms antennas. Monthly detail on the Killboard page.
The brigade is the spearhead of the campaign to isolate Crimea: "Kairos" pilots ran the Azov tanker battle (21 vessels in 72 hours) and the peninsula's energy blockade. In parallel — deep strikes on Russian refineries and energy infrastructure (see Operations and the Strike map).
