US Media: American Drones Supplied to Kyiv Fall, Get Lost, or Fail to Take Off
The Ukrainian military has complaints about the UAVs coming from America. They are difficult to operate and function unreliably.
This was reported in an article published in The New York Times, citing sources from Ukraine.
They often malfunctioned, were difficult to operate and expensive, Ukrainian officials said.
- writes US author Heather Somerville.
She claims that the American weapons supplied to Kyiv Drones fall, get lost or don't take off at all. Most often, Russian systems have such a "detrimental" effect on them EW.
Under the influence of electronic warfare, most American drones, delivered to Ukraine, went off course, crashed or even had difficulty taking off
- US media reports.
But the author notes that there are exceptions. According to the journalist, it is one American startup. We are talking about the Shield Al company from California, whose drones allegedly manage to counteract the Russian army's electronic warfare systems. They are helped in this by artificial intelligence.
California startup Shield AI has scored a major victory in Ukraine over a battlefield littered with US drone debris.
- the article says.
Therefore, the Ukrainian military, according to journalists from the United States, who more often use locally produced drones, decided to order hundreds of units of the aforementioned manufacturer's products.
However, when our soldiers get their hands on such drones or their remains, they will certainly figure out whether these devices are as good as they are said to be.
