Europe against Kalashnikov: one million drones for Ukraine
More unmanned missiles are being used in the Ukraine war than in any other conflict before. The US Army even canceled its billion-dollar FARA attack helicopter program because of this experiment. However, the systems used in Ukraine are not always high-tech flying robots. Quite the opposite: only simple drones equipped with a camera are used en masse. These first-person perspective (FPV) displays proved particularly valuable for reconnaissance of enemy positions. For this reason, Latvia launched the “Drone Alliance” to deliver a total of 1 million drones to Ukraine.
Both Ukraine and Russia are increasingly relying on the use of drones.
Germany concerned
The state is leading this initiative with Great Britain and is investing ten million euros itself. „Drone technology has a significant impact on military strategies and tactical control. Drones are an essential part of Ukraine's capabilities – they are effective in reconnaissance and attacking enemy targets. The coalition will ensure efficient and rapid delivery of drones to Ukraine,” he said. Latvian Defense Minister Andris Produs. In addition to Germany, Denmark, Estonia, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Sweden also want to participate in the initiative. At a meeting of the Ukrainian Defense Contact Group responsible for supporting Ukraine on February 14 at NATO headquarters in Brussels, they signed a similar declaration of intent. According to the British Defense Minister, most of them are FPV drones. Grant Shapps said: “We have committed £200 million to manufacturing drones, making us the largest drone supplier in Ukraine.”
FPV drones are not just used for reconnaissance.
Even simple drones are armed
According to statements by Mykhailo Fedorov at the Munich Security Conference, Ukraine manufactured 300,000 drones last year. As the Ukrainian Minister of Digital Transformation explained, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have 60 attack drone units and have already destroyed more than 14,000 Russian military facilities. Even simple FPV systems often don't fly without a weapon. Pictures and videos show the use of grenades and mines.
In addition to assault rifles, Kalashnikov now also manufactures drone missiles.
Kalashnikov drones
Russia also relies heavily on the use of drones. The Kalashnikov Group's Research and Production Association for Unmanned Systems in Izhsk plans to increase drone production tenfold this year. At least that's what Kalashnikov head Alan Luzhnikov promised to Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu during his visit. To this end, the factory built a new production hall and created 360 additional job opportunities. Kalashnikov produces, among other things, the KUB-BLA weapon armed with an explosive device.
