He recalled that unmanned aerial vehicles are available at all levels of the army — from the battlefield itself to the strategic level of the front. However, in addition to actual reconnaissance, UAVs are much more effectively revealed in the format of hands — reconnaissance and strike complexes-a combination of drones and a fire weapon.

According to Chmut, before the start of the full-scale invasion, one of the main drones of the Ukrainian army, which worked in cooperation with artillery, was the domestic complex "Leleka-100", produced by the Dnipro company "Deviro".

"This is a UAV that is located in the battalion/brigade niche and can effectively ensure the operation of brigade — level weapons from the air-2S1 Gvozdika, 2S3 Acacia self-propelled guns, BM-21 Grad MLRS, etc. This is a complex that has been "licked" from "childhood diseases" for many years of operation and production, it has many crews with many years of experience, and the tactics of its use have been honed over the years of this war...",- he stressed.

At the same time, the chairman of the charity foundation stated that during the month and a half of the war, the Armed Forces of Ukraine lost most of these complexes.

"It is to solve the lack of" air eyes "that the come back alive Army competent assistance fund signed an agreement for the production of 25 Leleka-100 complexes worth UAH 45 million," Chmut explained.

According to the volunteer, in fact, it is combining a UAV into one system, which searches for a target, determines coordinates and issues a target designation for the gun, corrects fire and confirms the results of work.

"Combining UAVs and guns allows you to destroy rusnya many times more effectively, spend less ammunition, spend less time on fire and, as a result, be less exposed to counter — battery warfare," he stressed.

According to Chmut, 25 units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine — battalions, brigades, artillery divisions — will receive some of the best unmanned aerial systems available in Ukraine in the coming months. And in the best configuration: with a package of training (additional training) of crews, with spare parts and consumables, service and maintenance.

The fund also added that 25 "storks" are the first step of the "Come Back Alive" team in a large — scale project to restore and restart the unmanned aviation sector of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
