The revolution in the Armed Forces: Who will be called to the service of unmanned systems
This step is aimed at increasing the country's defense in the face of modern threats. The decree was published on the website of the Head of State.
"Given the experience of prolonged large -scale armed aggression against Ukraine, in order to increase the capabilities of the Armed Forces with the use of unmanned and robotic air, maritime and ground systems, ensuring their readiness for use, according to the Cabinet's proposal, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine has decided to support: support The proposal made by the Cabinet of Ministers to create in the structure of the Armed Forces of unmanned forces as a separate kind of forces, " - the decree reads.
It is worth noting that the creation of a separate kind of troops - the forces of unmanned systems in the Armed Forces - the authorities have been speaking since the beginning of 2024. In February, the President set a task to study the issues and submit appropriate proposals for the NSDC. Among the tasks outlined by the President were: at the same time the president reported that Colonel Vadim Sukharevsky would head a new family of troops.
However, the Order of his appointment was signed by the Minister of Defense of Rustem Umerov only on June 10. The Presidential Decree on the creation of the forces of unmanned systems is the formality, says the military focus, the founder of the project A. Drones Yuri Kasyanov. Today, drones are used everywhere, in some military units they have almost every fighter, and therefore the decision on a separate structure in the Armed Forces is more declarative.
"The forces of unmanned systems have appeared a long time. Drones were needed in war, and therefore private companies, volunteers, military - all of it were engaged. In each brigade there were drones, then shelves that are engaged in the use of shock drones - from small to large to large Shahaped type Only now all documents have been prepared. Difficulties are due to the fact that the Tax Code and the JV, in the pursuit of plans, mobilize people, regardless of their skills and profile education.
Those who can arrange drones are sent to serve drivers, artillerymen, snipers. "Many units that work with drones literally" scratch "the shopping center people who need. Volunteers as well as private schools are engaged in the main training of drone operators. According to Kasyanov, the preparation is also conducted in state training centers, but there are not enough them. "All drones are very different.
As a simple analogy, a bicycle and a car - vehicles, but on the first one can learn to ride for the evening, and on the second - in a few months. In addition by car. ", - the expert continues. Kasyanov notes that often statements made by the country's management do not coincide with what is happening in reality. For example, at the beginning of 2024, the Deputy Minister for Strategic Industry, Anna Gvozdar, noted that in the first two months, Ukraine produced 200,000 FPV-aroma.
And by the end of the year, the production capabilities of domestic enterprises will make 2 million drones of different types, including FPV. "The President has talked about 1 million drones - our capacities are already making so much and even more," said the carnation. However, there are many cases in the army when the units themselves find sponsors to buy details and collect drones. What says that production capacity is not as high as we would like.
"This is a bad situation because the fighters must fight and use ready -made drones, and the industry must produce them in the right amount. But we know well how far the declarations are far from reality. The Armed Forces does not concern production, does not manage drones and their use in GUR, SBU, National Guard, State Border Service. Earlier, the focus told that the MiG-31K and TU-22m3 fighters take off from there and make massive rocket strokes in the cities of Ukraine.
