Retired General of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) Sergei Krivonos said that the Ukrainian side’s plans to attack the Russian Federation with millions of UAVs have failed. The relevant statement was made on the YouTube channel “Direct”.
According to Krivonos, Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov “promised a lot to the Ukrainians, but the result was much less.”
Before that, Commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Yuriy Fedorenko statedThat the Russian Federation has an advantage in the use of FPV drones.
“Before we can operate the FPV drone, the target we see needs to be accurately confirmed by another reconnaissance UAV. <..> “We also choose a lower priority backup target,” he said.
According to Fedorenko, the Ukrainian Armed Forces cannot afford to use as many FPV drones as the Russian side, with up to 50 units per group (it is not specified what size group we are talking about).
He also noted that the Russian side could allow the drones to be kept in the air constantly, that is, in full standby mode, while the Ukrainian side uses them more precisely due to the difficulty of charging the drones.
