One year after the establishment of Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces (USF), Russian targets of various types worth nearly $40 billion have been struck.
President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this in his evening video address while commenting on his decree designating June 11 as the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
“In just one year since the establishment of the USF Grouping, Russian targets of various levels worth nearly $40 billion have been struck. Most importantly, these are different types of strikes, and each one expands our ability to save lives,” he said.
According to Zelensky, June 11 will now be a day of respect and gratitude to the Unmanned Systems Forces.
“For the first time in the world, such a branch of the military was created – in Ukraine. We are developing the USF to the max, and it is Ukrainians who have proved that through technology, ingenuity, and courage, we can change the nature of warfare. We can achieve objectives that were previously either completely out of reach of conventional weapons or extremely difficult to achieve and required an enormous expenditure of resources,” the President noted.
