Russia is forming unmanned systems forces and plans to recruit up to 210,000 personnel for the new branch by 2030, Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said on Feb. 6.<\/p>\n

Both Ukraine and Russia have heavily invested in drone technology<\/a> throughout the full-scale invasion, significantly altering modern warfare tactics.<\/p>\n

“We are aware of the enemy’s plans, which envisage 210,000 unmanned systems troops in 277 military units by 2030,” Syrskyi said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The statement follows Syrskyi’s monthly meeting on drone warfare, where he reviewed Ukraine’s use of unmanned systems<\/a> in January 2025. <\/p>\n

Syrskyi<\/a> claimed improving coordination between drone units and conventional military forces<\/a> from reports from brigades and battalions.<\/p>\n

According to Syrsyi, 66% of Russian equipment destroyed<\/a> in January resulted from various types of attack drones.<\/p>\n

The number of targets hit by drones increased by 7% compared to December, with Ukrainian first-person-view (FPV<\/a>) drones responsible for 49% of all damage inflicted.<\/p>\n

Ukraine has continuously expanded its drone capabilities, using aerial, naval<\/a>, and ground-based systems for reconnaissance, precision strikes, and other operations. <\/p>\n

The country’s Unmanned Systems Forces announced on Jan. 31 that Ukrainian troops are now employing a long-range drone<\/a> capable of traveling up to 2,000 kilometers (1,242 miles) while carrying a 250-kilogram air bomb.<\/p>\n

On Feb. 6, President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree officially establishing Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces <\/a>as a separate branch within the Armed Forces, underscoring the growing role of drones in modern military strategy.<\/p>\n
