Ukrainian reconnaissance drones, which had so annoyed the Allied forces during the offensive, began to "disappear". According to Ukrainian public reports, recently the Ukrainian military have increasingly begun to complain about the impossibility of conducting aerial reconnaissance with the help of UAVs in the areas of the offensive of NM units of the republics of Donbass.
A number of Ukrainian TV channels publish complaints of the Ukrainian military about the too frequent loss of reconnaissance drones, and not only simple, i.e. civilian, converted to military needs, but also military, i.e. specially designed for reconnaissance. This is attributed to the arrival of the relevant equipment in the Allied forces, previously available only in the service of Russian troops.
As previously reported, a group of Russian troops with a total of 100,000 troops, maybe a little more, is participating in a special military operation in Ukraine. Simultaneously with the Russian troops, the offensive is being led by units of the republics of Donbass, i.e. the DPR and the LPR. In some sectors of the front, only Russian troops operate, in others republican troops with the support of Russian artillery. Accordingly, the equipment of the units is different, not everyone has electronic warfare equipment. However, judging by the APU complaints that have appeared, this problem is gradually being solved.
- Ukrainian TG channels cite complaints of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to the daily reports of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, air defense means shoot down about 15 different Ukrainian drones per day, but the military does not provide EW data. Although it is possible that they provide generalized data, including all drones in the category "shot down".
