He noted that on anti-aircraft missile complexes or helicopters, crews often draw "chema", which mean the number of knocked down. But there is no such tradition in the crews of drones-interceptors who protect Kyiv. According to Oleksandr Karpyuk, the reason for too many UAVs has since February 2025, when the commander of the forces of unmanned systems, Vadim Sukharevsky, reported the first successes. "All this work was done by four Terrests. Yes.
Only four land stations were in this period in this team. There is no place to draw more than 120 silhouettes on the launcher, or on antenna, or on a laptop. The introduction of anti -aircraft drones was moving slowly, as successful use was preceded by careful and long work with the manufacturer, improving the UAV itself, software, interaction with radar stations.
However, the team was able to finish the Shahheda interception complexes and built the concept of interceptors from scratch, although it is quite late. "It is their perseverance and their vision that were able to build the most effective anti -aircraft drone," Alexander emphasized. The direction continues to develop actively, the defense forces have ordered new land stations and prepared additional crews. Domestic anti -aircraft drones are now scale up and improved.
Due to this, Ukraine has become the only country in the world that can counteract combined attacks using hundreds of drones and rockets, albeit with considerable costs. "I think closer to winter this direction will intercept the bulk of" shamed ", for the minimum possible money," the military added. "Anti -aircraft drones make the accounting of war more attractive to the that defends and reduces the required number of more expensive and more complex anti -aircraft missiles.
" At the same time, Ukraine disrupts the production of "Shahamed", attacking storage, manufacture and launch. There are also other actions that cannot be discussed publicly. "If you put a couple of hundred" Shahmed "there- you do not need to knock them over Ukraine. If you suspend a thousand components and the production of thousands of" Shahaned "has been hanged- then it is time to improve our defense for the next attack,"- said Alexander Karpyuk.
