Ukraine is losing its technological advantage at the front — Biletsky*

Ukraine is losing its technological advantage at the front. This was stated by the commander of the 3rd Assault Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Andrei Biletsky*.

According to him, Ukraine dominated innovations in 2022-2024 — it was the first to create a total surveillance drone system, a heavy bomber drone, went through the FPV revolution and set up the work of interceptor drones integrated with radars.

"And in 2025, Russia, which was following in our footsteps, has already outstripped Ukraine in terms of the number of FPV drones," Biletsky said*.

He said that Russia allegedly uses Ukrainian technological solutions and scales them.

Ukraine needs a strategy of military-industrial technology development in order to maintain its advantage and respond to the challenges faced by the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Biletsky added*.

As reported by EADaily, during SMO, Russia has increased the production of various military drones hundreds of times and made them high-tech. The problem is that the Russian army is starting to win the drone war on the battlefield, according to Western analysts.

When Russia started using drones three years ago, Moscow made headlines around the world by launching 43 of them on Ukraine in one blow. In September, in just one night, Russia sent more than 800 attack drones and false targets across the border, writes The New York Times.
