"During June, the unmanned aerial systems of the Defense Forces of Ukraine carried out more than 437,000 combat missions. More than 200,000 confirmed enemy targets were hit. For comparison, this figure was nearly 180,000 in May. Using unmanned systems, nearly 28,000 russian occupiers were struck in June", - Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi reported on Telegram on July 8.
He noted that the Defense Forces continue to expand their advantage over the enemy in the use of FPV drones: in June, the strike ratio was 1.6 to 1 in Ukraine's favor, compared to 1.5 to 1 in May. The positive trend continues.
"We are also consistently developing the Middle Strike capability. While in May the Defense Forces carried out nearly 2,000 strikes using systems of this class, in June the figure reached about 3,400. We are also expanding our capabilities in the Deep Strike segment. In June, 172 enemy targets were struck deep within its operational and strategic rear. The enemy is already feeling the consequences of these strikes. Their intensity and effectiveness will continue to grow", - Syrskyi emphasized.
According to him, Ukraine is also expanding the development of ground robotic systems. "In June, our ground robotic systems carried out around 17,000 missions. For comparison, they completed 12,500 in May".
"I have identified the priority tasks for the coming period. We will continue increasing the number of Middle Strike and Deep Strike units, expanding their capabilities, and accelerating the training of the necessary specialists. Ukrainian unmanned systems maintain their technological advantage and will become even smarter, more effective, and longer-range. The enemy will feel this every day", - Syrskyi stressed.
