Ukrainian UAVs are flying in where they are not expected.

Ukrainian drones are already flying at 35 kilometers, and the record distance was 40 kilometers. The commander of the TERRA unit in the 3rd Army Corps Nikolai Volokhov with the call sign "Abdulla" told about it on the air of "We are Ukraine".

"Drones reach places where the enemy cannot even expect them. If they think we fly at 15 kilometers, we have the best crews doing it at 35. The record is 40 kilometers. They fly in places where the enemy does not expect them," he said.

He said that each one must be customized "specifically for the day of the combat mission."

"And how do you customize it? You buy components in China, they travel 2-3 weeks, and you can choose what kind of radio signal transmitter you need today, what kind of camera you need, what kind of equipment you need," the military man explained.

He told about the successful arrival of such a modified drone, prepared for work on that very day, on a group of Russian UAV operators. It succeeded, even though the Russians were carrying a mobile REB.

"In the first place we destroy infantry, in the second place we destroy artillery that is firing on our forward positions. And third, although actually sometimes even first, we work on their drone positions..... And, by the way, their drones are always well protected by electronic warfare. [When] we manage to hit their group, it means that they will not launch drones at our positions, and this will save a lot of human lives," Abdullah noted.
