Russia extensively uses Iran\u2019s long-range Shahed-136 exploding drones, to damage Ukrainian power plants and instill fear in civilians. The Ukrainian government launched a public fundraising drive last year asking foreign donors to help it build an \u201carmy of drones.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Moscow-appointed head of the port city of <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-war-drone-crimea-moscow-a1931eabbc874939b0e08ec9a8b77038\">Sevastopol<\/a> in Crimea, Mikhail Razvozhayev, reported this week that Russian forces destroyed a Ukrainian sea drone that attempted to attack the harbor and another one blew up. Ukrainian officials stopped short of openly claiming responsibility, as they had done after earlier attacks on Crimea, which Russia annexed in 2014.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Oleksandr Kviatkovskyi, a board member of combat drone innovation nonprofit Aerorozvidka, sees Brave1 as a platform the military can use to communicate its electronic warfare needs and providing strategic support to the military technology industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven one year to develop a product, it\u2019s a very short time,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Kviatkovskyi isn\u2019t sure that such platform can create a significant boost for development of war technologies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEven if it does, it will be minimal,\u201d he said. \u201cFew things can be more effective than the boost created by the tanks near Kyiv,\u201d he said, referring to how Ukrainian forces prevented Russian troops from storming the capital during the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/russia-ukraine-kyiv-politics-1115558b2d4db5a1146a2bc65ec8a275\">first weeks of the war<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"3300\" height=\"2200\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23115572532269.jpg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-106505\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23115572532269.jpg.jpg 3300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23115572532269.jpg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23115572532269.jpg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23115572532269.jpg.jpg?resize=1024,683 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23115572532269.jpg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23115572532269.jpg.jpg?resize=2048,1365 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3300px) 100vw, 3300px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">FILE &#8211;  A Ukrainian soldier carries a drone close to the frontline near Avdiivka, Donetsk region, Ukraine, Friday, Feb. 17, 2023.

He based his assessment on the various models of drones his unit has tried out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe always have something new to test, to understand if it\u2019s needed for our unit or not,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Anti-drone gun<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ametov, who is originally from Crimea, fights on the Ukraine war\u2019s front line while still involved in running his company, which expects to play an advisory role in the BRAVE1 initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His company distributes a portable anti-drone gun that uses radio signals to jam drones and to bring them down. According to Ametov, Ukrainian forces are using hundreds of the $12,000 guns, which can run for up to 30 minutes on a single fully charged battery, \u201cwith more and more coming.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cEvery side is trying to use as many drones as possible,\u201d Ametov said. \u201cWhen you are staying at the position, this is the only way to protect yourself from the drone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For now, Ukraine and Russia are about on par in their ability to employ drones, according to Fedorov. But when facing an enemy that has more troops and equipment, Ukraine must strive for technological superiority, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cNo matter how much enthusiasm you have to defend your country, you just physically cannot do it,\u201d the minister said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThat\u2019s why it\u2019s important to build institutions, so we can convert the energy of all volunteers, businesses and active citizens into concrete big projects that will continue to work for decades,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The government aims to bring state, military and private sector developers together to give Ukraine a battlefield
