Ukraine says Russia has it outgunned 7 to 1 when it comes to drones
- Russia has seven drones for every one Ukraine has, an official told Ukraine's public broadcaster.
- Yuriy Fedorenko told Suspilne that Russia is flooding Ukraine's airspace to find more targets.
- He said Ukraine fights smarter and only sends a drone when it has a target in mind.
Russia has an enormous edge over Ukraine when it comes to drones, a Ukrainian officer said: seven Russian drones for each Ukrainian.
Yuriy Fedorenko, commander of the Achilles company of the 92nd Separate Airmobile Brigade,
made the statement to the Ukrainian state broadcaster Suspilne on Tuesday.
"In priority frontline sectors, we have the following ratio: one of our drones to five or seven enemy drones," Fedorenko told the broadcaster,
per a translation by The New Voice of Ukraine.
Fedorenko said that the tactics of the two armies differ because of that imbalance, forcing Ukraine to use its drones more carefully.
Ukraine only deploys a drone "when we have a target," while Russia has the "privilege to work consistently," with first-person-view (FPV) drones operating in Ukraine's airspace in the hope of spotting something to hit.
A Ukrainian commander said Russia has Ukraine heavily outnumbered in a crucial area of warfare.
