The war<\/span> against<\/span> Russia<\/span> is entering<\/span> a<\/span> new<\/span> stage,<\/span> where<\/span> unmanned<\/span> systems<\/span> and<\/span> the expansion of<\/span> so<\/span> -called “<\/span> kill<\/span> zones” play<\/span> a key<\/span> role<\/span> .<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This<\/span> was announced<\/span><\/a> by the Commander-in-Chief<\/span> of the Armed Forces of Ukraine<\/span> ,<\/span> Oleksandr<\/span> Syrsky.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to<\/span> him<\/span> ,<\/span> the expansion<\/span> of the affected<\/span> areas<\/span> is associated<\/span> with<\/span> the growth<\/span> of the capabilities<\/span> of strike<\/span> drones.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

During<\/span> a<\/span> meeting<\/span> on<\/span> the development<\/span> of unmanned<\/span> systems,<\/span> intelligence<\/span> reported<\/span> that<\/span> Russia<\/span> is accelerating<\/span> the formation<\/span> of UAV units<\/span> ,<\/span> trying<\/span> to change<\/span> the situation<\/span> on<\/span> the front,<\/span> particularly<\/span> in<\/span> the southern<\/span> directions.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According<\/span> to<\/span> Syrsky,<\/span> by<\/span> April<\/span> 1<\/span> ,<\/span> Russia<\/span> plans<\/span> to increase<\/span> the number of<\/span> unmanned<\/span> systems<\/span> troops<\/span> to<\/span> 101,000<\/span> servicemen.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the same time,<\/span> Ukrainian<\/span> drones<\/span> continue<\/span> to work<\/span> actively<\/span> at<\/span> the front.<\/span> In<\/span> February<\/span> , they<\/span> hit<\/span> more than<\/span> 105.2<\/span> thousand<\/span> enemy<\/span> targets<\/span> . About<\/span> a quarter<\/span> of these<\/span> strikes<\/span> were carried out<\/span> by units<\/span> of the Armed Forces<\/span> of Ukraine’s Unmanned<\/span> Systems<\/span> Forces .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The<\/span> defense<\/span> forces<\/span> also<\/span> retain<\/span> an advantage<\/span> in<\/span> using<\/span> multirotor<\/span> FPV<\/span> drones<\/span> ,<\/span> although<\/span> Russia<\/span> is already<\/span> capable<\/span> of producing<\/span> over<\/span> 19,000<\/span> such<\/span> drones<\/span> per<\/span> day.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Separately,<\/span> Syrsky<\/span> reported<\/span> that<\/span> drone interceptor<\/span> platoons<\/span> are being created<\/span> in<\/span> the units<\/span> of the Armed Forces of Ukraine<\/span> .<\/span> Their<\/span> task<\/span> will be<\/span> to destroy<\/span> FPV<\/span> drones,<\/span> quadcopters<\/span> , and<\/span> other<\/span> enemy unmanned aerial vehicles<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The direction of<\/span> ground<\/span> robotic<\/span> complexes<\/span> is also<\/span> developing<\/span> . According<\/span> to<\/span> the commander-in-chief,<\/span> in<\/span> just<\/span> one month<\/span> they<\/span> completed<\/span> over<\/span> 2.3<\/span> thousand<\/span> tasks,<\/span> mostly<\/span> logistical.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Syrsky<\/span> stressed<\/span> that<\/span> the development<\/span> of unmanned<\/span> systems<\/span> remains<\/span> one<\/span> of<\/span> the main<\/span> tasks<\/span> for<\/span> the Ukrainian<\/span> army.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Previously, the Saudi<\/span> oil<\/span> company<\/span> Saudi<\/span> Aramco<\/span> was<\/span> negotiating<\/span> with<\/span> Ukrainian<\/span> manufacturers<\/span> to<\/span> purchase<\/span> interceptor<\/span> drones<\/span> to<\/span> protect<\/span> oil<\/span> fields<\/span> from<\/span> attacks<\/span> by Iranian<\/span> drones.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Recall that the Defense Forces, reducing the offensive potential of the Russian occupiers, struck enemy targets on TOT.<\/a><\/p>\n
