"The manufacturer calls and says: sorry." The commander told who disrupts the supply of drones of the Armed Forces

To spread: the commander of the regiment of unmanned Achilles systems Yuriy Fedorenko warned that Ukraine will reach parity from the Russian Federation in drones on the fiber no earlier than the middle of autumn. At the same time, the supply of ordinary UAVs is periodically disrupted, and the state can not fully overcome it.

"I cannot say that this is a certain diversion from China, but very, very many components (you understand that we are bringing it all through third countries), they come with a lack,"-explained the military on the air of Kyiv on June 23. According to him, there is a party of drones per thousand units. There are so many Achilles units for five days of full work at the front. "And here we are waiting for them to be shipped now.

The manufacturer calls and says: sorry, I have come there or other defective components. It takes two weeks, three weeks," Fedorenko emphasized. He reported that the set of issues of state contracts and centralized purchases, as well as production problems periodically lead to disruptions in the supply of drones. "And this is really a very difficult challenge and a moment.

And thanks to only the Ukrainian nation, as well as partners who help, we manage to pick up and have the minimum resource that is needed for highly efficient combat missions," the warrior said. At the same time, he assured that it is impossible to fully overcome the problem with the supply of drones to the front at the expense of the state. As the commander explained, this minimal amount of UAV is formed through the state, donat and support of partners.

Fedorenko also informed that Russia has worked new technology faster - drones on fiber, because it had access to China's production capabilities. The enemy found more successful decisions faster than Ukraine, and this allowed the Russians to increase their production capabilities faster and provide these UAVs with their troops. Raw materials, that is, the fiber optic cable, they are purchased from the PRC.

"Without unnecessary illusions-we will not be able to provide parity with the enemy on the drones. Only on the individual shades that are the most priority and important to us," the serviceman added. Recall that the Ukrainian company presented new drones Strila and Burewiy. They can fly from special mobile platforms to knock the enemy's UAV.
