New chief of Ukraine’s drone corps sets 100-day plan to reshape the sky

Ukrainian drones will reach a new level. Newly appointed commander of the unmanned systems forces, Robert “Madiar” Brovdy, launches a major upgrade and deployment, Texty reports. 

Brovdy has extensive experience in business and military service, having transitioned from a successful entrepreneur to a frontline commander. On 3 June, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy appointed him commander of the Armed Forces of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces. 

Brovdy says 6–7 units of the Unmanned Systems Forces’ Drone Line are expected to enter the top ten most effective UAV units in the current ranking of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The Drone Line is a 10-15 kilometer “kill zone” where enemy forces cannot advance without suffering significant losses.

Over the next 100 days, Brovdy also announced the following steps:

  • Deployment of a unified electronic system for planning, coordination, command, and online reporting for all USF units, 
  • Expansion of USF operations into tactical and operational depth with 12 levels of application — from reconnaissance to countering enemy drones, 
  • Increase in domestic production of munitions and creation of a unified supply depot for critical components such as StarLink, batteries, EW systems, and FPV parts, 
  • Use of ground robotic complexes for the logistics of munitions, drones, and peripherals, 
  • Execution of a unified recruitment campaign and establishment of a proprietary training network for drone pilots and operators of various systems, 
  • Separate re-certification of personnel, retraining of inexperienced or unfit crews, and retraining by types of flight activities. Command aims for a clear match between functions, training, and the combat potential of each fighter.

As part of the reform of the Unmanned Systems Forces, a unified approach is planned to analyze capabilities, operational facts, and effectiveness of actions according to drone models and types of ammunition. This will form the basis for precise planning and efficient real-time supply of units.

A separate direction, details of which are not disclosed, concerns the use of UAVs at strategic depth.

In the field of technology development, the current Innovation and Development Center is undergoing transformation. Instead of functioning at the brigade level, it will serve the needs of the entire branch of the armed forces.
