A striking deep-strike operation inside Russia using drones and the growing focus on countering drone swarms with interceptor drones are the main trends for Ukraine’s Defence Forces in June.
In June, Ukraine carried out the impressive “Pavutyna” operation, destroying Russia’s strategic aviation using over a hundred domestically produced drones. Meanwhile, joint long-range drone production with Denmark and the UK has begun. The Ukrainian army received new strike and interceptor drones, including the “Volynyaka” and the FPV complex “Svitlovod”, while also developing domestic component manufacturing. New UGVs — combat robots and robotic platforms for evacuation and mining — are actively appearing. On the front line, EW systems play an increasing role, with new Ukrainian technologies already effectively jamming enemy Mavic drones.
