# Technological Superiority: Syrskyi States Ukrainian Drones Kill More Russians Than Moscow Mobilizes

Alexander Syrskyi, the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, has released shocking statistics demonstrating a paradigm shift in modern warfare. According to him, Ukrainian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators have already destroyed 12,500 more Russian servicemen than the Russian Federation has managed to recruit during the same period.

These figures were announced during a meeting dedicated to the development of unmanned systems. Syrskyi emphasized that the advancement of technology and innovation has become the key factor allowing the Ukrainian army not only to hold the defense but to achieve a qualitative advantage over the enemy.

### Drones as a Factor of Victory

According to the Commander-in-Chief, Ukraine is not inferior to the aggressor in the competition of technologies and production capabilities, and in certain areas, it is already confidently outpacing him. A striking example of this is the situation with FPV drones. Currently, the Armed Forces of Ukraine outperform the enemy in this segment by a ratio of 1.5 to 1, and according to reports, this advantage continues to grow in favor of Kyiv.

The effectiveness of drone usage is also confirmed by statistics on the fight against kamikaze drones. In May, the number of shot-down Russian "Shaheds" increased by 27% compared to the previous month, indicating successful improvements in air defense and counter-drone defense systems.

### Robots on the Frontline

Special attention at the meeting was paid to ground robotic complexes. Their role in combat operations is growing rapidly: such systems are increasingly used for delivering ammunition and provisions, evacuating the wounded, and performing other critically important tasks in the most dangerous sections of the front.

In May, ground robots completed 12,500 tasks. However, Syrskyi noted that the potential for their application is significantly higher. The main problem hindering the mass use of these machines remains the difficulties with supply and logistics, which have been relevant since the beginning of the year.

### Strikes on the Rear: Middle Strike Program

During the session, the progress of the Middle Strike program, aimed at striking objects at operational-tactical depth, was analyzed. In May alone, the Armed Forces of Ukraine carried out nearly 2,000 strikes in the enemy's rear.

Among the destroyed objects were 414 command posts, control points, and troop concentration areas. Syrskyi links the increase in the effectiveness of strikes at distances up to 200 kilometers to the creation of special coordination centers within the corps. These structures have allowed for a significant improvement in interaction between various army units.

### Consequences for Russia

The successes of Ukrainian robotics and aviation have direct consequences for the Russian war machine. Earlier, Pavlo Palisa, Deputy Head of the President's Office and Brigadier General, noted that Russian losses in the Donbas have tripled, while advances remain minimal.

In Russia itself, the consequences of heavy losses are becoming increasingly noticeable to the civilian population. Due to the huge influx of wounded returning from the front, civilian hospitals and even maternity wards are being massively converted into military hospitals, creating a tense situation in the country's healthcare system.
