Technological Front: Drones, Robotic Complexes and Electronic Warfare

The summer of 2025 became a turning point in the war of technologies: Ukrainian deep-strike drones hit Russia’s strategic infrastructure at distances of over 1000 km, new interceptors reaching speeds of up to 315 km/h appear on the battlefield, ground robotic complexes deliver FPVs into the enemy’s rear, and compact EW stations “Veres-2” have already received positive feedback from Ukrainian Defense Forces brigades. All this together shapes a new tactical reality where innovation defines the course of battles.
