OREANDA-NEWS The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) do not have access to entire classes of weapons that are available to the Russian Armed Forces. This was stated in an interview with TASS by Vitaly Serov, General Designer of the Astron Design Bureau.

According to him, experts are analyzing the thermal imaging equipment used by the Army of the republic during a special operation. The developer stressed that the equipment produced is at the same technical level as the foreign one.

"The enemy has a certain advantage in communication and control systems thanks to Western assistance, while we have entire classes of weapons that are fundamentally inaccessible to the Armed Forces. In unmanned vehicles, the enemy widely uses Starlink terminals, which are difficult to counteract electronic warfare. But there will be an answer to this, the victory will be ours," Serov stressed.

Earlier it became known that Russia is developing the launch of a swarm of FPV drones under the guidance of artificial intelligence (AI). "A flight task is loaded into each drone, and, in fact, the devices fly autonomously with video broadcasting," the press service of the developer company explained, adding that it is planned to control the entire cluster of drones from one workplace.
