"There are certain strategic plans": the Air Force commented on the creation of the Unmanned Systems Forces in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

As part of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Unmanned Systems Forces will perform an important function. However, the creation of this kind of troops will be useful not only in times of war.

This opinion was expressed by the spokesman for the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Yuriy Ihnat, on the air of the "United News" telethon. He hinted at "strategic plans" to create such forces within the Armed Forces.

"Probably, there are some strategic plans on this issue - I cannot say on this matter now... But no one can do without drones today," said the spokesman, commenting on the creation of the Unmanned Systems Forces under the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Ihnat did not disclose the "strategic plan" but hinted at how the Armed Forces' drones could be used.

As an example, he cited Turkey, where drones, in addition to purely military functions, help the police detect crimes and border guards control the border and fight smuggling.

"Therefore, drones will certainly be useful to everyone," Ihnat added.

He also emphasized the need to provide drones.

"You can never have too many drones, and any help from our partners with them would be very useful for the Defense Forces. As well as assistance with electronic warfare (EW) equipment. We need as many of them as possible," Ihnat said.

As reported by OBOZ.UA, Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree on the creation of a new separate branch of the Armed Forces of Ukraine - the Unmanned Systems Forces. The President also named a list of tasks: creation of special staff positions for working with drones, special units, effective training, systematization of experience, constant scaling of production and attraction of the best ideas and specialists in this area.
