Additionally, leaders of structural divisions from various branches of the Armed Forces and other Defense Forces components provided updates on the development of UAV unit capabilities.
"I identified specific tasks to accelerate the development of this branch, increase UAV unit numbers, respond to new threats from the enemy, and introduce advanced technological solutions on the battlefield," Syrskyi stated.
He noted that commanders of specific regiments and battalions shared their experiences and provided suggestions.
"As of September, we have observed positive progress in targeting and destroying enemy objectives with strike drones. Consequently, 147 servicemembers in UAV units, who effectively neutralize enemy personnel and equipment, were recognized with Commander-in-Chief commendations," emphasized Syrskyi.
As reported by Ukrinform, on the night of October 9, UAV units of Ukraine’s Armed Forces struck an arsenal in Russia’s Bryansk region used for the storage and modernization of artillery and rocket weaponry, including equipment of Iranian origin.
