Ukraine fears President Putin personally taking control of weapons technology production
(Baonghean.vn) - Ukraine's armed forces will have to retreat if the country does not start increasing production and developing new unmanned aircraft systems to be on par with Russia.
In an interview with Ukrayinska Pravda, the director of the Ukrainian Aviation Intelligence Support Center, Maria Berlinskaya, said that Russian President Vladimir Putin attaches great importance to the role of drones in the conflict in Ukraine. This is in stark contrast to the Kiev government.
“We realized that President Putin personally took control of the production of weapons technology in the country. We saw that the Russian leader was producing the Lancet drone - one of the most effective attack devices,” Berlinskaya admitted.
According to the Director of the Ukrainian Aviation Intelligence Support Center, most of the Ukrainian equipment was destroyed by the drone attack.
In addition, the expert concluded, if Ukraine does not start producing and developing new unmanned aerial systems to be on par with Russia, the Armed Forces of Ukraine will have to retreat.
Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited the Aeroscan enterprise in Izhevsk, where they produce ammunition and Lancet reconnaissance drones.
The CEO of the Russian state technology corporation Rostec Sergei Chemezov noted that the company creates drones capable of attacking the enemy. This type of weapon is being developed to serve the needs of the Russian military in the special operations zone.
Chemezov also confirmed that the Russian military has used Lancet drones and has shown excellent results in combat.
