Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has announced the establishment of a new branch of the Ukrainian armed forces, named the Unmanned Systems Forces, dedicated to drones and unmanned warfare. This development comes as the SBU, Ukraine's security service, uncovered an alleged Russian spy network. The creation of this branch underscores the significant role that unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) play in modern warfare, particularly in the ongoing conflict with Russia. Zelensky's administration aims to produce one million First Person View (FPV) drones in 2024, and Ukraine's commander-in-chief plans to significantly increase the use of unmanned systems to overcome Russia's advantages in the war.
We also have interesting and pretty inspiring news on the Unmanned Systems Forces, a recently established standalone branch of service with Ukraine's military. We better wait until it's official, but you're going to like it.
