The Ukrainian army is likely surpassing Russia in the number of drones, according to the Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Vadym Sukharevskyi.
"Just in the first two quarters of this year, we have delivered six times more drones to the troops than in the entire last year. This is a joint victory of both the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense," said Sukharevskyi.
According to him, Ukraine is superior in drone production, as it has a significant variety of maneuverable drones.
"We have over 165 different types of developments that are being tested and used on the battlefield. In terms of the number of drones, we are not losing, and we may even be winning," he emphasized.
