The creative approach of the head of the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Kyrylo Budanov, who is the driver of non-standard and creative military solutions, gives results on the battlefield.
Political strategist and blogger Oleksii Holobutskyi has expressed the thought on Facebook.
"Budanov's creative approach gives results on the battlefield. The operations conducted by the Defense Intelligence are not just "beautiful PR stories". But today's news has already become known to the whole world and will be included in military art textbooks. The Defense Intelligence special unit shot down a Russian Su-30 with a missile launched from an unmanned maritime platform Magura. For the first time in world history, a combat aircraft was destroyed by a naval drone!" he wrote.
The blogger recalled that last year, Defense Intelligence engineers equipped naval drones with R-73 air-to-air missiles.
"The deployment of the R-73 on naval drones is an effective response by Budanov to the Russian tactics of coastal defense using helicopters and airplanes. For the first time, the Defense Intelligence’s naval drones punished enemy aviation last New Year's Eve - on December 31, Magura destroyed two Mi-8 helicopters. And now the Su-30 went underwater - a 4++ generation fighter, a powerful combat vehicle worth more than USD 50 million. A clear demonstration of who controls most of the Black Sea water area. This is what real damage to the enemy looks like and a clearly visible strategy. Without unnecessary slogans, without self-PR - the result of the work of the Defense Intelligence and its leader speaks for itself," the political scientist emphasized.
In his opinion, as the head of the Defense Intelligence, Budanov is the driver of non-standard and creative military solutions. In his department, he established systematic planning, there is autonomy in decision-making, trust in executors and a focus on real results - hence the achievements on the battlefield, which so delight Ukrainians and demoralize the invaders.
"It was under Budanov's leadership that the Defense Intelligence began to actively use naval drones, kamikaze drones, and the latest reconnaissance and strike platforms. He relied on an asymmetric war, and the enemy is washed in blood. The Defense Intelligence changes the course of hostilities, deals painful blows to Russia and proves to the world time and again that Ukraine can act technologically and innovatively," said Oleksii Holobutskyi.
