Air defense suppression is a key task of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The tactics of weakening the air defense, which the enemy has actively implemented using the example of the Crimea and the Bryansk region, are planned to be adapted to the suppression of the air defense in the direction of Moscow.
In order to increase the effectiveness of its attacks deep into Russian territory, it is increasing the capabilities of unmanned units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which it plans to deploy in the northwest direction.
A special division of unmanned aircraft systems was created based on the 3rd Jet Division of the 107th Jet Division. In total, the brigade has 12 long-range drone teams throughout the country.
The UAVs there are different, but the basis for this special unit will be Bars type jet UAVs. The range of the modern versions is 1000-1200 km depending on the warhead (smaller warhead - longer range).
At the same time, attack teams of UAVs will operate mainly from the Chernihiv and Sumy region, where they are deployed only to carry out an attack. Preparation and maintenance are carried out in the Kyiv region.
Jet "Tigers" are exactly the same as the UAVs that will be produced under the auspices of the German authorities. After the conclusion of an agreement with Germany, the assembly of bars was expanded, and Czech engines began to be installed on them.
