Ukraine’s military leaders have stressed the important part that drones play in the ongoing conflict with Russia, stating it would be "nearly impossible" to fight without them.

 

At a panel during the Association of the US Army meeting in Germany, Maj. Robert “Magyar” Brovdi, in charge of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces, urged NATO and US allies to adopt drone technology based on Kyiv’s experiences.

 

Brovdi, along with Brig. Gen. Volodymyr Horbatiuk, highlighted how drones are crucial for battlefield logistics and intercepting threats. This comes as Russian forces launched further drone attacks on Ukraine, hitting several cities including President Zelensky's hometown.

 

The panel's insight coincided with a recent shift by former President Donald Trump, who pledged increased air defences for Ukraine, reflecting frustration with ongoing peace efforts with Russia. Brovdi’s cautionary advice to Western allies was to remain sceptical about agreements with Russia.

 

Brovdi, who founded the drone unit “Magyar’s Birds” in 2022, shared experiences of using drones for reconnaissance and attacks. Originally comprised of civilians, his unit has significantly disrupted enemy operations. The commanders urged continued international support and a decisive stance in battling Russian aggression.

AI and drones are the future of warfare. Picture thousands of cheap drones doing a simultaneous attack. Nothing currently can stand up to that.

Yes, programming the drones to attack Moscow and sinking what's left  of their navy, and destroying what's left if their bombers, etc etc.

Too bad Russia can't get AI chips, huh?
