The Ukrainian military in the Kharkov direction is faced with an acute shortage of ammunition release systems for drones; production critically does not keep up with the needs. Yuri Abdula, the owner of a workshop that manufactures such devices, spoke about this in an interview with Focus .

According to him, dropping ammunition from drones is a fairly effective tactic, much better than simply firing blindly at enemy positions. At the beginning of the full-scale war in Ukraine there were many workshops that made drop systems for drones, but now most of them have switched to the production of kamikaze-type FPV drones.

As Abdula says, since the Kharkov direction was relatively calm for a long time, there was no great need for drones and drop systems for them. However, with the May invasion of the Russians in the Kharkov region, a great need for such weapons suddenly arose here.

“In the Kharkov region there is only one of our workshops capable of providing this direction. Previously, we provided about 10% of the needs of the entire front with these systems, and now we must provide the entire Kharkov region. These are Sumy, Akhtyrskoye, Belgorod direction and many others. We we must provide them, while we do not stop providing the eastern directions. For one workshop, this is like a tsunami,” explained Yuri Abdula.

Yuri’s workshop supplies the military with about 300 release systems per day, although the needs of the front as a whole are about 1,000 units per day.
