Ukrainian drones increased the destruction of Russian targets by 10.8% – Syrskyi

During September 2025, Ukrainian unmanned aerial systems hit 66.5 thousand enemy targets. Compared to August, this figure increased by 10.8%. This was reported by the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Oleksandr Syrskyi.

According to him, 39,200 of these were hit by kamikaze drones. At the same time, 18,159 servicemen of the occupation army were hit or killed - this is 23% more than in the previous month.

"The number of tasks completed by robotic ground systems has almost doubled, which indicates the growing attention of commanders to this important component of unmanned systems. The advantage in the use of FPV continues to be in our favor, although the enemy is doing everything to get closer to parity," Oleksandr Syrskyi also added.

By the way, it recently became known that operators of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed four 170 mm Koksan self-propelled artillery installations that Russia received from the DPRK.

Earlier, operators of the 429th separate Achilles unmanned systems regiment hit two Russian TOS-1A Solntsepyok heavy flamethrower systems in the Kupyansk direction.
