The Ukrainian government has added the Unmanned Systems Forces Command to the list of state buyers of drones and electronic warfare equipment, which are procured through the Ministry of Defense and the State Special Communications Service.

“This will enable us to strengthen our capabilities on land, in the air, and at sea more quickly and effectively. It is especially crucial that the USF will promptly identify needs on the front lines regarding unmanned systems and countering enemy drones,” Defense Minister Rustem Umerov wrote on Facebook on Tuesday.

He noted that Ukraine had repeatedly proven that it can turn technological advantages into tactical successes. “Thanks to this decision, we now have even more opportunities to achieve victory,” Umerov added.
