From now on, every year on June 11, Ukrainians will celebrate the Day of Unmanned Systems Forces. The General Staff congratulated servicemen of the USAF on their first professional holiday.

It is noted that this branch of forces, created in 2024, has already become one of the most effective in the Ukrainian army.

"In 2024, we were the first in the world to create a separate branch of forces - the Unmanned Systems Forces. This was a strategic, forward-thinking, and unavoidable decision. After all, modern warfare is primarily a war of technologies, intellect, innovation, and speed of decision-making...

Drones have long ceased to be an experiment or an auxiliary tool. They have become one of the main instruments of modern warfare and one of the key factors in saving the lives of Ukrainian soldiers, the congratulation reads.

The General Staff emphasized that unmanned systems operators have become some of those who have brought the war to the territory of the aggressor state. In addition to combat missions, unmanned systems are used for the evacuation of the wounded, delivery of ammunition, provisions, and logistics support at the front line.

We remind you that after two attacks by Ukrainian forces on the."Rashova" oil depot in Novorossiysk, Russia, satellite images recorded extensive damage to the tank farm.
