On August 9, Robert \u201cMagyar\u201d Brovdi, commander of Ukraine\u2019s Unmanned Systems Forces, celebrated his birthday. The following day, the Associated Press<\/a> published an interview with him. He said there would have been seven times as many strikes on military targets in Crimea if the money promised by Western allies had arrived faster. According to \u201cMagyar\u201d, his forces currently have only 14% of the resources needed for a full-scale strike campaign in Crimea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Despite the funding shortage, the summer campaign in Crimea has inflicted significant losses on the enemy. The ultimate goal is to make the peninsula unsuitable for use as a staging ground for Russian forces. \u201cIt\u2019s not that Ukrainian manufacturers can\u2019t produce the required number of drones,\u201d he explained. \u201cThe problem is simple: funding from partners is coming in, but much more slowly than our plans.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The AP report also featured the Ukrainian mid-strike drone Chaklun, which rarely makes it into reporters\u2019 lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
