Deputy Defense Minister Vitaliy Deynega is convinced that the Mavic UAV cannot be removed from the battlefield, because they play a crucial role on the front. Ukraine cannot buy drones in China, Mavic, so as not to spoil relations with the United States. This was stated by the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine Vitaliy Deynega in an interview with the "Left Bank", which was published on July 3.

According to him, the Mavic commercial drones from the Chinese company DJI use both Ukrainian military and Russians now on the battlefield. Moreover, the Deputy Minister of Defense believes that next year Mavic will be crucial at the front. Nevertheless, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine cannot buy them through the United States. "I saw (Minister of Defense Alexei Reznikov - ed. ) He signed from himself" Mavic "for guys.

But, as far as I explained, we cannot buy anything Chinese in order not to spoil relations with the states," Vitaly Dainega said . - "Mavic cannot be taken from the battlefield. Next year drones will be no less important than planes. Drones next year will have a crucial role. This is a cheap way to stop a very expensive equipment. Very cheap. " Deynega also added that now the Russian soldiers, unlike the Ukrainian, have an advantage in various technical inventions.

As an example, the Deputy Secretary of Defense gives disposable FPV-aroma. They are shivers and can even fly into the cabins of military cars.

There are very good things that we have and which the Russians do not have," Dainega explained.

Recall that in early April 2023, the United States began to "banite" Chinese drones, fearing that they could spy or infect computer networks. Thus, in Florida, a law that prohibits public authorities from the use of drones produced in "countries that cause concern in the US" came into force. In addition, in April, the media also wrote that Chinese drone producers had been mandated in the war in Ukraine.
