Ukraine counters Russia’s drone strategy with technology


Russia’s growing use of Shahed drones will be met with quality countermeasures, Ukraine's disinformation chief Andriy Kovalenko said on Telegram on June 18, disputing claims the drones could level Ukraine.

The head of Ukraine’s Center for Countering Disinformation countered apocalyptic projections made by military blogger Serhii Flash, who warned Russia would “flatten all of Ukraine” using the Iranian-made UAVs.

“They’ve scaled up production and plan to scale further,” Flash wrote on Telegram earlier, urging mass production of drone interceptors and nationwide training of operators.

“If we don’t act now, our infrastructure, manufacturing, and defense facilities are doomed.”

According to him, the main focus should be on the mass production of interceptor drones and training the military across the country in their use.

"We are running out of time," the expert claimed.

Kovalenko pushed back, saying the quantiy of Russian drones would ultimately be neutralized by Ukraine’s investment in quality.

He emphasized that in the future, technology will continue to evolve, including artificial intelligence algorithms that will allow drones and weapons to avoid interception. At the same time, the systems that will counteract these drones will be improved. This is a large-scale technological competition between China and Western countries.
