Developing drones is key to give Kyiv an advantage over the “numerically superior” Russian forces, Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine’s Commander-in-Chief, has said.
“The development of the use of unmanned systems is my priority,” Syrskyi said on Telegram after meeting his deputy, Vadym Sukharevskyi. “We are looking for asymmetric solutions to gain a qualitative advantage over a numerically superior opponent.”
As part of his military reforms, Volodymyr Zelensky last month ordered the creation of a separate branch of Ukraine’s armed forces devoted to drones.
Britain, meanwhile, has announced the formation of a Ukraine drone coalition, under which it pledged to deliver 10,000 drones to Kyiv throughout this year.
