One of the most important attributes of statehood and a guarantor of Ukraine's security and freedom is its Armed Forces. On December 6, Ukrainians celebrate one of their most important national holidays — Armed Forces Day. Every day, thousands of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers defend the country on the front lines, guarding its borders on land, at sea, and in the air. On the occasion of the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, we are telling you about the branches of the Ukrainian army.
The Unmanned Systems Forces are the world's first branch of the military to use unmanned aerial vehicles, ground-based robotic systems, and maritime drones to perform combat missions. The Unmanned Systems Forces combine advanced technologies with modern asymmetric approaches to effectively destroy the enemy and reduce its offensive capabilities.
The Unmanned Systems Forces are the youngest branch of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, created in 2024 after a strategic rethinking of defense principles. Their creation was another step towards the modernization of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the establishment of a new military culture, where intelligence and technology determine superiority.
Using a modern multi-level approach, the Unmanned Systems Forces are capable of operating effectively both at strategic depths, destroying the enemy hundreds of kilometers from the line of combat, and effectively performing combat tasks on the battlefield.
The integration of reconnaissance, strike, and defense capabilities allows the Unmanned Systems Forces to perform tasks with maximum accuracy and efficiency, minimizing risks to personnel.
The experience of the Unmanned Systems Forces demonstrates that technological superiority, a systematic approach, and innovation are key to the successful execution of tasks in this war.
