Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny ordered the formation of strike companies of drones

January 27 2023 29

From the very beginning of the Russian special military operation, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine paid special attention to the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, what else was left to do in the conditions of air dominance of Russian air defense and aviation.

Now the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU), General Valery Zaluzhny, has ordered the formation of unmanned aerial vehicles in the army. This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine in its Telegram channel.

As stated in the message of the Ukrainian military department, the decision to create shock companies was made following the results of the meeting of the Headquarters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine claims that they have already selected several officers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine who will be appointed commanders of shock companies. Now they will recruit personnel for sergeant and private positions.

Rota drones will be armed drones and ammunition, as well as satellite communications and all other necessary equipment. The Ukrainian command expects that such companies will be able to perform independent tasks at the front. Prior to this, drone operators were part of regular army units.

Earlier, the Ministry of Digital Development of Ukraine reported that the Kyiv regime now has six special systems to combat Russian drones. In fact, Kyiv is now very concerned about the issues of improving and building up its potential in the field of unmanned aerial vehicles.

However, Russia is also improving its capabilities both in terms of using its own drones and in the direction of combating enemy unmanned aircraft. The latter issue is especially relevant, given the incidents with enemy drones flying to airfields in the Saratov and Ryazan regions.

The United States can supply thousands of these switchblades, if not tens of thousands, when the tanks arrive, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will use them simultaneously with the Abrams / Leopards / Challengers 2, Bradley and Strykers, including switchblades to maximize the strike force in the offensive. And all this will be covered by Buki with sparrows, nasamses and avengers.

  It's not just about kamikaze drones.
  And about heavy quadrocopters dropping down
  like mortar mines.
  Ukrainians have gained extensive experience in the use of such
  "drummers" for armored vehicles and infantry.
  Aircraft-type reconnaissance drones interact there,
  light reconnaissance quadcopters, and striker quadcopters.

How about us? Are there no positions in the state? Or what?

  You're right. Not only do we not have separate companies, they have no staff: neither in the squad, nor in the platoon, nor in the company, nor ... as they say, etc. I think it is still necessary to introduce into the staff those involved in tuning, programming, repair at the level of a battalion, regiment.

  Do not confuse a German aircraft with a pilot in the dark night of World War II with modern drones.
  Both vision and dimensions are completely different. Yes, and reaction.

Well, in principle, the solution is natural and standard. Now the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has a mobile reserve of attack UAVs that can be deployed to the desired sector of the front to enhance the fire capabilities of their units and units

  Aha! Now a DRG of five people will be covered by a hundred drones!? For transportation, refueling of these drones, you will need to have transport columns. Will one operator serve one drone at a time or one for a dozen, a hundred? It will probably not be difficult to notice such a column even on the march.

    No. Just in a minute, ground reconnaissance or unmanned reconnaissance aircraft will use loitering ammunition on any reconnoitered target. In modern warfare, the share of infantry and armored vehicles will decrease, and the share of reconnaissance units and operators of high-precision strike munitions will increase.

  It's just that Zalugny, unlike Prigozhin, did not go in cycles in the desire to send a political figure he did not like to a penal company.

As far as I understood from the title, now UAVs have also come under forced mobilization in (in) Ukraine. Drones were drawn to the Moldovan-Polish border out of harm's way.

We urgently need to build a mega-plant (s) for the production of Lancets of all modifications and Cubes. Concern Kalashnikov to nationalize. And in general, it's time to transfer the economy to a military footing, otherwise everything will drag on for years.

    The machine tool industry is developed in the DPRK. To buy North Korean machine tools, it is enough to offer flows of fuel oil and diesel fuel, which are sold to Ukraine at fabulously low prices, to offer the North Koreans.

It's time for Russia to use the space component of the Russian Aerospace Forces and stun the communications satellites of enemy No. 1, and without communications, these attack drones are like those aircraft models that were launched in Artek. And there are more Terminator complexes on the ground. I saw the video of the work "Terminator" and was very pleased. Well mows down the enemy!!!

I see no reason to be happy.
At the beginning of the NMD, the enemy was a cut above in the use of civilian UAVs for military purposes. Only thanks to the citizens, the backlog in this area was compensated, somewhere ahead.
Now a new problem. Sports kopter-kamikaze. And again, our volunteers accepted the challenge.
As they say, feel the difference in the work of the two GS. Some have the green light for all ideas. For others, the beard gets in the way.

And here, as always, when subordinates die (everyone is afraid to report to the top the infidelity of the previous decisions of the generals, everyone laughed at the Arabs at one time when they did not shoot down the plane with the boss in training), then it will reach the leadership that we are now creating divisions with drones you need to brag about kamikazes, not zircons. How many were worn with daggers like crazy, it would be better for this money a hundred lancets would have made sense an order of magnitude more.
