This was reported by Vadym Sukharevskyi, commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, as cited by Radio Svoboda.

"Our ‘bombers’ and the units operating them demonstrate exceptional efficiency. Just in the past two months, our Nemesis units have taken out over 15 high-value targets, including Buk-M3s, Tors, and others. One notable hit was a Buk-M3, struck two weeks ago at a depth of 57 kilometers," he stated.

Sukharevskyi also highlighted ongoing efforts to systematize various software platforms and develop new tactics for ground-based robotic systems.

"We have already started integrating and refining components for maritime operations in both defense and offense. I believe we will soon move to the practical phase of these activities," he added.

  • On September 16, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a bill officially establishing the Unmanned Systems Forces as a separate branch of Ukraine’s Armed Forces.
