Ukraine will introduce drone-assault units that integrate unmanned systems with ground forces.

This was reported by the press service of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine on Telegram, according to Ukrinform.

“A new model of warfare is being implemented – drone-assault units that combine aerial and ground unmanned systems with infantry into a single system,” the ministry stated.

The ministry emphasized that this approach has already proven effective in the south, where since February a significant amount of territory has been liberated thanks to the use of these advanced units.
