Ukraine promises to increase drone attacks on Russian warships. It will not lag behind even in the destruction of ground targets. “The drone army is changing the doctrine of world war,” said Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for Technology Mykhailo Fedorov.

The young minister, who is a leader in the development and production of military drones, said that Ukraine had established a special attack drone unit this year. There were already seventeen people working out front.
“Army drones continue to break new records. Last week human rights defenders targeted these weapons. The occupiers actively used them to stop counterattacks. Our attacking forces solved this problem by destroying 56 guns, 41 tanks and 34 armored fighting vehicles,” he wrote in Twitter. earlier this week Fedorov.
He also published specific examples. Last time he showed the destruction of a Russian T-72 tank by a drone. In turn, the Ukrainian army published a video a week ago of how three cheap drones managed to catch up with an expensive T-90 tank, which Russia says is the best in the world, and knocked it out of battle with successive attacks.
Fedorov also wants to focus on the Black Sea waters. “There will be more drones, more strikes and fewer Russian ships. That’s for sure,” he told Reuters in an interview on Friday. Last week, Ukraine carried out several attacks using naval drones and missiles against Russia’s Black Sea naval fleet around the Crimean peninsula, which Russia has occupied since 2014.
Russia confirmed that the attack damaged its warships and submarines. But they insisted they had repelled all naval drone attacks. But Fedorov posted a video on social media taken from a ship heading towards a much larger warship. And then there was an explosion.
According to Fedorov, Ukraine’s production of aerial drones this year has increased more than a hundredfold compared to last year. “I think that by the end of this year there will be an increase of around 120 to 140 times compared to the previous year,” Fedorov plans. According to the minister, Ukraine is testing an artificial intelligence (AI) system that can find targets several kilometers away and direct drones to them even if external communications are disrupted through electronic warfare.
“Currently everything is still in the testing phase, but some of the drones we purchased use AI to recognize targets. In the jungle, they can detect targets and recognize whether they are humans, tanks, or specific vehicles. These technologies are being actively used,” added Ukraine’s Deputy Prime Minister for Technology Mykhailo Fedorov in an interview with Reuters.
