- Ukrainian drone operators use many different types of drones from many different companies.
- This makes it difficult for Russia to stop Ukrainian drones or destroy where it is created.
- But it also makes every drone pilot’s operations difficult.
Ukraine found hundreds of drones all over the place, making all kinds of drones, which gives Ukraine a weapon of chaos that is similar to a peeling toolbox.
Although this may create challenges for Ukrainian drone pilots, it also has some real benefits because the country fights against Russia’s invasion.
Ukraine builds most of its drones, which is of paramount importance, considering the key role of drones in the conflict and the unexpected capabilities of Western aid, especially US security aid.
Ukraine said that more than 96 % of the 1.5 million drones purchased last year were Ukraine, which was coming from countless organizations, some workshops, garages and basements.

Ukraine has facilitated the easily transfer of technology from these drone makers from these drone makers, ignoring the traditional military purchase structure. Many units also get drones through crowded funding efforts, and get the shelf Civilian grade drone.
The result is that the Ukrainian operators are using a whole host of different drones with different technology and features.
The drone operator with Ukraine’s unmanned pilot system forces, Demco Zlovtco, told the Business Insider that he thinks “it is better to divide it – the way we have Ukraine.”
He said he had used numerous drone varieties, and came from the hosts of the drone manufacturers of the first person to use them. Zloktinko said drones “99 % are Ukrainian -made and a rare mixture of sugar.” Another Ukrainian drone operator, who spoke to BI on his failure to disclose his name, said he uses only and only three types of drones.
upsides
On the contrary, Russia has fewer varieties, and it is easier to learn how to identify and defeat them, said Zuluktto. “The result for Ukraine is that” it is very easy for us to surprise them, “he said.

He added that since Russia is often slow to innovate, it is easier for Ukraine to learn how to disrupt Russia’s drone with the electronic war.
James Patton Rogers, a drone expert at the Cornell Brooks Tech Policy Institute, told BI that he would work in favor of using only a few drone varieties for Russia’s Ukraine.
With a low drone to worry about it, it can “fix a type of drone, find out what it is indicated, what is its anti -war anti -war measures, what it does to protect itself,” and its jam.
“If you have all these different drones and they are made by different manufacturers and they are extremely high -tech, okay, you have a benefit,” he said, “He explained,” because it is difficult to identify a way for your enemy to take a drone down.
The dispersed operations also protect Ukraine’s manufacturing capabilities. Russia targets Ukraine’s defense industry, but drone production organizations are not given a central position. Rogers said it was very difficult to identify where the drones were being made and at the same time a large factory said. “
Zloktino also said that there are numerous actions to create a competitive-now-drone between Ukrainian manufacturers-“innovation increases.” Ukrainian drone makers always declare new upgrades and drone types, such as artificial intelligence, which do not use GPS, fiber optic drones, unmanned ground vehicles and naval drones that target Russian warships.

The amount of drone is being prepared, it is a part of it because many people can never reach their goals.
Samuel Bandit, a drone technologies and Russian defense expert, with the center of naval analysis, told the BI that before the war, “no one could expect the rate on which these technologies would be spent, and it was impossible to estimate the rate compared to these technologies.”
In the last two years, this place has exploded.
Because the drone production companies are very small, the frontline tropes can more easily apply and demand war and can share feedback on what operators need.
Zlukttko told about “direct chat with drone manufacturers” he was using. “They are very open to feedback.”
Downward side
However, this is not the opposite. Alexander Pasler, a platoon commander of the strike drone unit with the 33rd separate assignment of Ukraine, told the Business Insider that Ukraine was a “major problem” with “manufacturers’ diversity”.
“This creates the problem of permanently toning and upgrading different drones,” he said.

The result is that the result is that soldiers get a lot of things that are less proven and test -to -war tests they will achieve from a more central system in which the army has purchased very little drone varieties.
Rogers also said that relying on such diverse production, “when these drones are eventually deployed on the battlefield, it will have different quality results.”
He added that operators “When it comes to mastered different types of drones and how they work effectively on the battlefield, they will have to be a bit of a trade.”
Higher quantity than quality
This year is planning to buy 4.5 million, running on the Ukraine drone. The goal is the cheap mass, not necessarily high quality.
Benjamin Jensen, a war strategy, at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told the BI, that what is happening in Ukraine is “allowing him to cost war power and reduce time.”
He described the situation as “almost a Lego -Set Uppedroch” about tactics and war, in which the work of various companies and experts has worked together with the input of drone operators and people around the world.

The need for a drone’s Ukraine is only increasing.
The drones have “significantly changed every aspect of the fight” in Ukraine and is being used permanently for the tasks of new fighters, such as saving mines, evacuating the wounded, and fighting on the ground, Peshaler said.
The drone operator, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that Ukraine was trying to keep more of its soldiers alive as much as possible and said that one of the best ways to do so is to keep “more drones”.
