Vadim Sukharevsky released From the position of unmanned forces commander, and appointed Deputy Commander of the Operational Command “East”. Zelensky put Sukharevsky in a new position of the priority task – to modernize this command, to introduce new approaches and changes.
Sukharevsky was the first commander of the unmanned forces as a separate unit of the Armed Forces and held this position since June 2024. “This year, although incomplete, was carried out with benefit. We have formed and immediately attached to practice the principles on which this unique genus for the world operates, ”he said in the telegram channel of the forces of unmanned systems.
At the same time, some observers point out that Sukharevsky had a tense relationship with Alexander Syrsky.
“At this stage, our visions on the further development of the SBS are different from management. I consider an honest and professional decision in this situation to complete my cadence as commander of the SBS. I leave a position with a deep faith in anyone who continues to carry this idea next ”, – wrote Sukharevsky on the social network.
Robert Brody (Magyar call sign) assigned Commander of the forces of unmanned systems. Brody led 414 a separate brigade of shock unmanned aircraft systems “Magyara Birds”, which is considered the most effective in the army. On May 12, Robert Brody received the title “Hero of Ukraine”.
“SBS is a worm horror. Beamed but rapid formation of a kind of troops, ” – wrote Magyar on the social network after his appointment. He published his own program of action in a new position, which involves the immediate implementation of existing collective experience.

Immediate step-by-step launch or strengthening in the SBS units of all 12 layers of influence on the entrusted lane (as a result of the use of 414 arrrivs, including Rer, Reb, RBS, RLS, fighters of hostile UAVs, remote mining, echelonosis use of anti-heapes, etc.).

As military experts evaluate personnel rotations in the Defense Forces Command
Military Observer Denis Popovich He did not expect personnel changes in the Defense Forces Command, although there was some information regarding Michael Drapat. Speaking of how new appointments can be influenced by the front, the expert noted “Magyara”, Robert Brody, who became the commander of the forces of unmanned systems, and has already outlined his program of action.
“First, he has a completely stunning career. Before the Great War, the Brody was an entrepreneur, then went to TRO, commanded the unit. He passed from lower steps to the commander … His unit “Magyara Birds” grew to the brigade and was one of the leading on the front … The Brody is focused, in particular, to the creation of large losses for the enemy, which is very important in conditions when the enemy prevails numerically. Therefore, this experience should be scaled to all the forces of unmanned systems. And if you read his program of action, he will just do it. For me, the key is also that the Russians are significantly concerned about this purpose.
With regard to Michael Drapatya, it can be noted that he goes to a strategic position – in the command of the Joint Forces of the Armed Forces. This is an inter -edition and obviously his efforts were aimed To call the situation in the Sumy region. For example, various territorial defense units that are part of the Armed Forces, the State Border Guard, the National Guard of Ukraine and so on can act there.
Michael Drapaty, as the Commander of the Joint Forces, can take all these units for a single management and thus adjust the management system and stop the enemy. Actually, it was this that he was engaged, in particular, in the Kharkiv region, when the enemy stepped a year ago in the north. Therefore, it is a completely front position. In my opinion, this appointment is also dictated by events on the front, ” – says military observer Denis Popovich.
Pavel Lakichuk, Head of Security Programs of the Globalism Center “Strategy XXI” It emphasizes that personnel changes in the army are a systematic workflow.
“In the army, like everywhere, people come to positions, go from positions. If the commander of the Land Forces simultaneously performs the task and commander of the hottest dawn (operational-strategic grouping of troops), then it turns out, as they say, “somewhere thick, somewhere empty.” He simply cannot pull such volume. Of course, this is not very correct. Changes occur both by age and units.
Moreover, by and large, personnel rotations are required from time to time. It is much worse when you have to remove people for the catastrophes they allowed. Then it is too late … It is much better when the process is actually systematic. It is clear that personal motives, personal relationships can be. But I would not have accentuated on such moments, ” – says Pavel Lakichuk.
