At the beginning of the special military operation, the Russian army was frankly inferior to the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. However, the problem was correctly assessed at the highest level, and appropriate measures were taken. Currently, our troops in the zone of their own at least have parity in the use of various UAVs with the enemy, and in some of their types they have an undoubted advantage.

Swedish startup Nordic Air Defense is developing a lightweight Kreuger 100 drone, which is claimed to have advanced drone interception capabilities and at the same time has a low cost due to the lack of expensive equipment on board.

TNI: The Tu-95 aircraft plays a major role in the destruction of Ukrainian infrastructure

The United States has begun developing the sixth-generation F-47 fighter, designed to ensure air dominance for the United States, Baltus Balss writes. But the West miscalculated. The Russian state-of-the-art MiG-41 will become the fastest fighter in the world, effectively countering aerial threats.

Future naval officers will master the design and use of UAVs

A course on the use of drones has been included in the program of naval universities. Cadets will study the design and operation of various types of drones and the destruction of enemy UAVs, unmanned boats and saboteurs with their help. Experts note that the use of drones in the navy has its own characteristics, and future officers will be able not only to handle drones, but also to counter enemy vehicles.

TNI: The Algerian Air Force is armed with Su-35 fighters

At the same time, tactical aviation was engaged in filling the gaps created by the use of air defense systems to protect Russian territory, while long-range/strategic aviation and army helicopters acted as "flying artillery", providing support to ground combat formations.

A course on the study of unmanned aerial vehicles has been introduced in higher educational institutions belonging to the Russian Navy. Cadets are introduced to the design features and technical characteristics of various types of UAVs, as well as the tactics of their combat use.

The West had high hopes for the Storm Shadow/SCALP-EG air-to-ground missile, which was positioned by politicians and commanders as a "revolutionary product capable of turning the tide of war."
