In Ukraine, a project to strengthen infantry with the help of drones is starting

This was stated by Ukraine’s Minister of Defence Rustem Umyerov in his Facebook.

"This is a new standard of war, where unmanned systems become a key element of combat operations, helping our defenders perform the most difficult tasks. We focus on the best UAV units. The ’Drone Line’ will scale the most effective unmanned systems in the Ground Forces and the State Border Service," the statement says.

Umerov noted that the first phase includes five elite regiments and brigades, including:

• 20th Separate Regiment "K-2";
• 429th Regiment "Achilles";
• 427th Regiment "RAROG";
• 414th Brigade "Madjar Birds";
• Regiment "Phoenix" (Brigade "Revenge").

According to the minister, infantry and UAVs will be combined into a single strike system, which in turn will allow:

• to create a destruction zone at a depth of 10-15 km, where the enemy cannot move without losses;
• to provide infantry with constant air support and cover;
• to detect and destroy targets even before they approach our positions.

He added that this will significantly change combat tactics, giving Ukrainian warriors a decisive advantage.

"I thank the President of Ukraine for the initiative and the entire defense industry complex, which improves our unmanned technologies 24/7. We scale technological superiority. We change the course of the war. We destroy the enemy," Umyerov concluded.
