The Commander-in-Chief recalled that it was he who created the Unmanned Systems Forces as a separate branch of the military.
Drones today do a large share of damage, but to prepare the battlefield for their effective operation, artillery, mortars, engineering equipment, air defense, electronic warfare, and dozens of other items are needed.
This was emphasized by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrsky, in a column for ” Military “.
“The strangest reproach I’ve heard is that I supposedly “don’t want to fight with drones.” I created the Unmanned Systems Forces as a separate branch of the military. I personally submitted the candidacy of Magyar to the president to head the SBS,” he emphasized.
According to him, “it was an unpopular decision,” but he took responsibility, because Magyar not only grew from a soldier to an officer, but also created a unique unit and has his own vision of the development of the situation.
“A person who “does not want to fight with drones” does not create the world’s first separate branch of unmanned systems troops and does not appoint a commander to it, contrary to all traditions of the military hierarchy,” Syrsky emphasized.
According to him, it is also true that drones today cause a large share of casualties, and this is a fact, but to prepare the battlefield for the effective operation of drones, artillery, mortars, engineering means, air defense, electronic warfare, and dozens of other items are needed.
“The General Staff provides the ministry with a complete list of what is needed for war. We need to purchase everything, not just what is currently in trend. We are not at war with a conventional small country. We are facing an enemy that is superior in everything, who is fighting, in particular, with artillery, aviation, and infantry,” the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine emphasized.
He added that he cannot transfer a million-strong army “to drones” in two months and say that, they say, this is how we fight now.
“In addition to the fact that this is an obvious adventure, any experiment of this scale is paid for by our lands and our people,” Syrsky emphasized.

This statement seems b3 at odds at what the citizens of Ukraine are saying. Reminds me of the old adage of best to keep your mouth shut as you may remove all doubt of you being an idiot. Again spoken by someone who does not have all the data and accordingly, I’m a moron for even expressing an opinion in this cluster fuck.
Budanov; “I urge you not to hate anyone. The enemy is closely monitoring our every internal dispute and is waiting for us to start fighting among ourselves.”
He sounds a lot like me…….;)
