A year after the creation of the Unmanned Systems Forces, russian targets worth $40 billion have been struck — Zelensky

One year after the creation of the Unmanned Systems Forces (USF), russian targets of various levels worth nearly $40 billion have been struck. President Volodymyr Zelensky announced this in his video address, commenting on the decree establishing June 11 as the Day of the Armed Forces of Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces.

“Just one year after the creation of the USF grouping, russian targets of various levels worth nearly $40 billion have already been struck. Most importantly, these are different types of strikes, and each of them increases our ability to save lives”, - he said.

According to Zelensky, June 11 will now be a day of respect and gratitude to the Unmanned Systems Forces.

“For the first time in the world, it was in Ukraine that we created such a branch of forces. We are developing the USF to the fullest extent, and it is Ukrainians who have proven that through technology, creativity, and courage, we can change the nature of war — we can achieve objectives that were previously either completely inaccessible to conventional weapons or extremely difficult and required enormous resources”, - the president noted.

He emphasized that these days the Unmanned Systems Forces deserve special gratitude for their middle strikes: russian military logistics throughout the entire depth of the temporarily occupied territories are now within reach of Ukrainian drones.
