Since the beginning of the year, Ukrainian drone units have successfully targeted more than 800,000 verified positions of the Russian military, resulting in the elimination or serious injury of approximately 167,000 Russian soldiers. This information was shared by Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov via Telegram.
“The defense forces are systematically weakening the enemy’s military capabilities by disrupting logistics and striking critical targets behind enemy lines. Drones currently account for over 90% of the enemy casualties,” Fedorov stated.
According to Fedorov, the drone units have struck various categories of targets, including personnel, air defense systems, artillery, multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS), drones, ground robotic complexes, transportation, command centers, warehouses, and electronic warfare systems. The minister highlighted that May was particularly effective, with over 181,000 targets hit and 31,530 Russian soldiers eliminated or severely injured during that month alone.
“For each confirmed strike, military personnel receive ePoints, which can be exchanged through the Brave1 Market for drones, robotic complexes, electronic warfare systems, and components. This ePoints system allows us to identify which technologies and units yield the best results and rapidly scale those solutions across the military,” Fedorov explained.
He further noted that under President Volodymyr Zelensky’s directive, the defense forces are continuing to exhaust the enemy across three domains: air, land, and economic.
“Thank you to every soldier for your results. You are shaping a new doctrine of warfare in real-time,” Fedorov concluded.
Ukrainian drone units have made significant strides in the ongoing conflict, targeting over 800,000 Russian military positions and inflicting heavy casualties. The Defense Minister emphasized the effectiveness of drone warfare in weakening enemy capabilities.
