Syrskyi added that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are actively increasing ground robotic complexes, in the conditions of expanding kill zones, they are becoming an integral element of modern technological warfare. He noted that the logistical role of ground unmanned complexes is constantly growing: in October, they delivered almost 300,000 kg of provisions to units.

Syrskyi reported that he pays special attention to scaling the units of the Unmanned Systems Forces: increasing the number of trained crews, attracting personnel and creating infrastructure for their effective functioning.

He said that during the meeting he heard reports from combat commanders on the implementation of new tactics for using drones and using systems that are more resistant to enemy electronic warfare and more effective in combat use.
