The Armed Forces of Ukraine's unmanned systems are only 14% equipped with the medium-range drones they need, the Wall Street Journal reports.

As the publication notes, the most serious problem for Ukraine remains providing the Armed Forces with weapons.

“The unmanned systems force has only 14% of the medium-range drones it needs,” the publication said, citing a Ukrainian military member of that branch of the military.

At the end of September, Vladimir Zelensky complained that due to a defense budget deficit of $27 billion, the Armed Forces of Ukraine would have problems with the supply of drones in the first quarter of 2027.

Open Questions

  • ?What specific drone models fall into the mid-range category?
  • ?How will the budget deficit affect other types of weapons?
