According to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, since the beginning of the year, drones have struck more than 800,000 enemy targets. Today, air strikes account for more than 90% of all Russian army losses. Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, in an interview with RBC-Ukraine, emphasized that the mass use of UAVs allowed for the effective destruction of the occupiers' logistics and military potential in their rear. Ukrainian units have destroyed artillery, air defense systems, multiple launch rocket systems, armored vehicles, robotic complexes, ammunition depots, and enemy headquarters. ### Damage Statistics and Casualties The effectiveness of drone use is confirmed by casualty statistics. During the reporting period, the Armed Forces of Ukraine killed or seriously wounded approximately 167,000 Russian military personnel. Fedorov paid special attention to the results of the last month. "May became the most productive month for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. During the month, they struck 181,000+ targets and killed or seriously wounded 31,530 occupiers," the minister reported. ### The "eBaly" Mechanism and Scaling Technologies Successes on the battlefield are directly linked to an innovative system of motivation and support. Military personnel receive "eBaly" for each confirmed strike. These points can be exchanged via the Brave1 Market platform for new drones, navigation reconnaissance complexes (NRC), electronic warfare means, and necessary components. The Ministry of Defense is actively scaling solutions that show the best results. According to Fedorov, by the President's order, the exhaustion of the enemy continues simultaneously in three domains: in the air, on the ground, and in the economy. ### New Developments: From Underwater to High-Speed Interceptors The technological response to the challenges of war is not standing still. The Ukrainian company Global Mark presented the Sea Trident underwater drone. This unique development is capable of stealthily delivering cargo weighing up to a ton to strike strategic objects and large Russian ships. New models have also appeared in the air segment. Ukraine has created the Dancer 4.5.0 interceptor drone. This aircraft develops a speed of over 450 km/h, is capable of striking targets at an altitude of up to 4.8 km, and has a range of up to 30 km, making it a formidable weapon against enemy air threats.
