This was announced on November 12 by Colonel Sergei Ishtuganov, deputy commander of the new branch of the armed forces. He clarified that the structure of the new branch of the armed forces has already been determined, the head of the unmanned systems forces has been appointed, and military command bodies have been created at all levels. "We've already formed established regiments, battalions, and other units. Their combat operations are conducted according to a unified plan and in coordination with other units of the troop groups. Meanwhile, the expansion of existing combat units and the creation of new unmanned systems forces continues," Ishtuganov said in an interview with KP.RU. Regular units conduct combat testing of UAVs and electronic warfare systems, working closely with manufacturers. If necessary, they modify the drones on-site, taking into account the rapidly changing situation. "The enemy plays with frequencies—we reconfigure our electronic warfare systems. The enemy starts to pressure us with electronic warfare—we switch to other frequencies. And this is an ongoing process, requiring, among other things, technical expertise," the military officer said. Specialists are trained at the Ministry of Defense's universities, as well as military training centers at civilian universities. Work is underway to establish a higher military educational institution for unmanned systems troops. More from regnum.ru The Russian Ministry of Defense unveiled the emblem of the Russian Unmanned Systems Forces. On November 12, the Russian Ministry of Defense unveiled the emblem of the Russian Unmanned Systems Forces, publishing a video of this branch of the military destroying enemy equipment in the Northern Military District. The emblem depicts a crossed arrow and sword with a winged microchip and a star at the intersection. Thus, the symbol combines symbols of traditional military art and new technologies. "FPV drone crews from the Zapad unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) forces burned a US-made M113 armored personnel carrier and a pickup truck carrying Ukrainian Armed Forces personnel in a special operation zone," the video's description reads. |
