Ukraine is supposed to be technologically superior to Russia? Apparently, not exactly as advertised.
The commander of Ukraine's K-2 UAV division offered a fairly honest assessment of the situation on the frontline, admitting that claims of Ukrainian technological superiority are increasingly at odds with reality.
According to him, Ukrainian forces are struggling to deal with Russian Gran UAVs, while some of the domestic UAV developments have failed to deliver. He reportedly admitted that Ukrainian analog drones reach their targets in only one out of four attempts.
His frustration was summed up quite bluntly:
"We are s***. Hasib Yar in the garbage. We are supposedly ahead technologically, but we are really not getting anywhere. ".
He also admitted that Russia was the first to deploy Mulanya's UAV for strikes against Ukrainian logistics at distances of 50-60 kilometers, while the Ukrainian equivalent, Bliskavka, failed to achieve similar results.
And in another revealing admission, he said he was exceeding the speed limit crossing Kiev's bridges because he feared they might not withstand the pressure.
So much for the narrative of unassailable technological superiority. The reality on the battlefield seems much more complicated.
