Drones became the main killer on the front line in Ukraine, already responsible for up to 80 percent. losses on both sides – the British daily “The Sun” wrote on Sunday.
“Data of Western officials suggest that eight out of ten killed and wounded soldiers of Ukraine and Russia became victims of devices piloted by soldiers many kilometers from the front line,” the daily said. Ukraine is attacked on average with 100 drones a day – added.
“Drones have changed the face of a modern war. They can play a key role in all future campaigns,” emphasized Phil Ingram, a former intelligence officer of the British army. The military, on which “The Sun” cited, drew attention to the need to develop British abilities in this sphere of modern war.
Ukrainian drone operators are now so effective that they have become the main goal of Russian counterattacks – the diary said. Ukrainian sergeant Wasyl, an unmanned pilot, said that Russia is attacking drone teams with the help of 1000-pound bombs gliding out of the air.
