165 models and rapid growth: Sukharevsky told about the concept of troops of the Drones of the Armed Forces (video)

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have 165 drones today, said the commander of the unmanned system forces Vadim Sukharevsky. The military called this phenomenon the "phenomenon of Ukrainianness", which prefers the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The Ukrainian army needs new drones that could carry out new combat missions. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the General Staff of the Armed Forces are trying to cope with this challenge.

Thanks to their joint efforts, in 2024, they were able to significantly increase the supply of drones to the front line. About the peculiarities of working with new types of equipment, the Commander of the Systems Systems (SPS), Colonel Vadim Sukharevsky told in an interview with TV Army. Sukharevsky reported that in the first two quarters of 2024 the Armed Forces received six times more drones than for the entire 2023.

In his opinion, it is a "special victory" of the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff, since the procurement process is not one that, say, in artillery. When solving artillery tasks, it takes a lot of time planning. Production processes have also been developed for years. Meanwhile, the specificity of drones is another: you need to respond quickly to the emergence of new systems. "This painstaking work requires simply superhuman efforts in all areas of legal support.

And this is a real challenge for the state system. And, tfu-tfu-tfu, we, say, somehow pass it," said the SPS commander. Ukrainian and Russian opportunities in the field of drones are significantly different today, Sukharevsky emphasized. He did not talk about the number of devices coming to the Armed Forces or the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Instead, he stated that the advantage of Ukrainians was in maneuverability.

Maneness means that Ukraine has 165 developments used on the battlefield. The commander called the ingenuity that inventors and fighters showed, the "phenomenon of Ukrainianness". In his opinion, this phenomenon has innovations in the army. "As long as our warrior with his wit, with his mind, with his ability to use handy means to destroy and kill the enemy, we are invincible. Progress, " - said Sukharevsky.

It should be noted that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky announced the creation of unmanned systems in February 2024. The head of the state described what tasks they would perform. Among them are the preparation of operators, the creation of special units, training, the search for new ideas, their implementation and scaling. Later it became known that the commander of the new troops became the Hero of Ukraine, Colonel Vadim Sukharevsky, who in 2022-2024 commanded the 59 brigade. Gandziuk.
