Half of Ukrainian drones do not reach their target: military shared about the raids of the AFU.


According to AFU officer Lex, half of Ukrainian drones crash without reaching their intended target.
He reported that the 92nd Brigade of the AFU, which includes the Achilles strike drone battalion, is located in the Kharkiv region and is fighting against the occupiers. The military uses kamikaze drones, particularly those of German manufacture, to find Russian soldiers and armored vehicles. However, about half of their combat sorties fail to complete successfully.
Lex explained that no plan in the army survives encountering a real enemy, especially when the equipment is used in complex and chaotic conditions. He noted that the normal success rate for drone operators' raids is 30-35%, whereas in their unit, this figure almost reaches 50%. Nonetheless, it is still far from 100%. The officer urged patience and precision, taking into account as many risks and mistakes as possible.
Additionally, according to the statements of the founder of the special unit "Madjar's Birds" Robert Brovdi, within the next 6-8 months, the war will become unmanned.
It is worth noting that Ukraine can increase drone production, but this requires additional funding.
Moreover, it is planned that Ukrainian fighters will receive multifunctional maritime unmanned systems.
