Good. Now let’s focus on the job and finishing the war now.
Borders to reclaim, and Russians to chase.
I hope this means the MOD getting serious about drones.
*The Ministry of Defence does not procure FPV drones. Fortunately, we have the Ministry of Digital Transformation, which partially substitutes for the Ministry of Defence. It purchases FPV drones as part of the Army of Drones project. It helps manufacturers obtain the operation permit (which allows them to purchase a specific type of UAV from the company officially – ed.). However, even to obtain this permit, some manufacturers undergo an approval process that takes up to three months.*
*”The way I see it, the Ministry of Defence gives very little attention to what is happening in robotic unmanned technologies. There is no state policy at all,” says Berlinska. “And the Ministry of Defence should come forward and say that this is our top priority, that we understand that this is the only thing that Ukraine can influence.”*
He may not have been perfect but he oversaw a massive change and improvement in the armed forces. Time will tell if this is overshadowed by corruption issues in his ministry or not.
