Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov signed an order appointing Pavel Yelizarov, known by the call sign “Lazar”, as the new deputy commander of the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. According to Fedorov, the purpose of the assignment is to build an effective anti-drone dome over Ukraine.
That’s what he’s about reported in social networks.
“The world was not prepared for this type of war. But we are forced to respond – quickly, systematically and technologically. That is why, on the President’s task, we are changing the approach to protecting the sky. The transformation of such a system does not happen in a few days, but we need to start today in order to finally close this issue,” he said.
According to Fedorov, Yelizarov will be responsible for the development of small air defense and the direction of interception of drones. Under his leadership, the Lasar’s Group unit became one of the most effective in the Defense Forces: the team destroyed more than $13 billion worth of enemy equipment, and every fifth destroyed Russian tank was the result of its work. Now this experience is planned to be scaled at the level of the entire country.
“Our task is to build an anti-drone dome over Ukraine. A system that does not react after the fact, but destroys the threat already in flight. This requires people who have already proven their effectiveness in modern warfare. Lazar is one of those.
It is difficult to transform an army when the enemy strikes every day. But we have no choice. We have to change the approaches, structures and logic of work – so that technologies actually work on the battlefield, and not remain in presentations. The result will not be tomorrow, but we are building the system today.
The anti-drone dome is not about the future. This is about survival today and the possibility of Ukraine’s development even during the war,” Fedorov added.
- Pavlo Yelizarov is a Ukrainian military commander, an officer of the Air Force of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He headed the combat unit Lasar’s Group, which specializes in the use of drones and high-precision hitting of targets.
- Yelizarov is considered one of the commanders who were the first to systematically implement modern drone tactics on the battlefield, combining technology with practical combat experience.
