As the US looks to Ukraine for the latest in modern warfare technology advancements, The Post visited a Ukrainian assault unit using advanced land and air drones that are defining the future of warfare.
KYIV, Ukraine — An elite Ukrainian combat unit is defining the future of warfare by battle-testing new drone technology in real-time — which will provide invaluable insight and opportunity for the US, according to the unit’s commander.
From ground units that lay mines and fire assault rifles to flying drones that drop grenades, Ukrainian Armed Forces are constantly deploying new technologies — and making regular tweaks to perfect them — on the battlefield.The Post visited a Ukrainian assault unit using advanced land and air drones that are defining the future of warfare.“This brigade systematically uses assault drones in its operations,” a UAF drone unit commander who goes by the callsign “Makar” told The Post. “They close the distance between Russian and Ukrainian troops because they can go farther than is safe for troops.” All of the drones used by Makar’s unit are designed and produced in Ukraine, where developers have instant access to troop feedback on how to perfect their products.

It will take these tactics and battlefield knowledge with them as they invade other countries.”Ukraine had to shift away from foreign weapons as a result of the pipeline of Western military aid drying up.Oleksandr Biletskyi, vice president of Ukraine’s League of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, said Ukraine’s drone developments are also key examples of the country’s advanced engineering — which has long been native to this region. “The tank industries, the rocket industry of the Soviet Union, were always done by Ukrainians,” he said. Now, with the conflict becoming the first example of modern warfare, the Ukrainian defense industry is further revolutionizing defense engineering by working hand-in-hand with frontline troops.
