Ukraine alone has unique combat experience in modern warfare, including the use of unmanned systems, which it is ready to share with partners.
With such thoughts, Kyrylo Budanov, head of the President's Office, shared on his Facebook page. He voiced the relevant theses during the discussion “Introducing Ukrainian knowledge of conducting hostilities into NATO” at the Riga Conference.
Budanov emphasized that modern warfare requires not just new technologies, but a comprehensive approach to their use. In particular, the mere presence of drones does not yet ensure their effective use — a systemic approach to drone employment in the military is needed.
The head of the Office of the President noted that practical developments in this area today exist only in Ukraine and Russia.
“It so happened that Ukraine has gained this invaluable experience — utterly bloody — but this is experience. As of now, no one besides Russia and Ukraine has such experience. This must be understood clearly. If you do not want to deal with Russia — you will have to deal with us. This is much better,” Budanov said during the discussion.
