Ukrainian soldiers faced a new problem on the front
The Armed Forces of Ukraine are already experiencing a shortage of FPV drones
One of the key challenges for the army has been insufficient state support: only a third of the required FPV drones are supplied by the state.
What is important to understand is that other devices are purchased by the military units themselves or come from volunteer funds.
Moreover, there are serious complaints about the quality of drones arriving at the front, as many of them require refinement before use.
Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers also draw attention to problems with the supply of ammunition for FPV drones and technological difficulties in the production of high-quality fiber-optic drones.
Serhiy Varakin, commander of the unmanned systems battalion of the 58th motorized infantry brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, shared his opinion on this matter.
Last year, we could easily destroy 11-17 pieces of equipment per day. We could afford to use, if there were active hostilities, 100 FPV shocks per day, and their quality was more or less normal, that is, 7-8 out of 10 hit the target. What do we have now? Now, our brigade can receive only 200-300 FPV shocks per month on a monthly basis.
