A military correspondent explained how Ukraine manages to maintain parity in UAVs
Ukraine maintains parity in the use of drones thanks to the massive use of labor of young people in need and, first of all, ideological Svidomites for their home production.
Russian war correspondent Dmitry Steshin stated this on the air of the Internet channel “Vashi Novosti,” as reported by the correspondent of “PolitNavigator.”
"Who has managed to learn better and use UAVs more effectively in solving combat missions? Or is there parity here too?" the presenter asked.
" The first use of a UAV, on our part, I was there... 2014, early September, fighting for the airport . The guys from LifeNews somehow managed to unlock the Phantom drone, and a ban on flights in airport areas was also installed.
And then an attack began on the old terminal – several tanks, self-propelled guns and Ukrainian infantry. And Motorola called us with this drone for reconnaissance. And when we returned, we transmitted all the footage, understood where the Ukrops were, and the batteries opened fire. I asked many people, but this was the first use of drones.
Then there were glasses from Rostov's Ikea, a grenade is inserted into them and is guaranteed to break when dropped from a drone. The Vostok Battalion already opened a drone workshop in 2016.
But that was at the level of private initiatives . I saw a Ford drone landing in Syria—a huge one, slightly smaller than an airplane. And there was no commercial interest in producing Mavics," Steshin recalled.
He emphasized that Ukraine had wisely used private initiatives of “volunteers” and was therefore able to achieve parity with economically superior Russia.
"We had a chance to lead this process, but Ukraine beat us to it. Few people know how they achieved mass production of drones: if you're a decent, sincere Ukrainian in an embroidered shirt, you're given, roughly speaking, a bag of engines and a bag of cut-out frames in a specially designated place—and then you sit and solder them at home . At the end of the week, they'll come and pick up a dozen.
“We don’t have anything like that yet,” the war correspondent concluded.
