Quote: “The 414th Separate Unmanned Systems Forces Brigade Magyar’s Birds (with Klima as its commander) has completed its cross-branch transfer from the Ground Forces to the Unmanned Systems Forces, and will soon double in size.”

Details: Brovdi also reported that the 20th Separate Unmanned Systems Regiment K-2 has finalised its transfer from the Ground Forces to the Unmanned Systems Forces and is being transformed into a separate brigade.

For reference: Upon taking up his post as commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Magyar immediately integrated the Drone Line into the new branch. As Ukrainska Pravda has learned, he also assumed responsibility for all stages of his units’ work – from training to combat use and innovation. His predecessor, Vadym Sukharevskyi, had previously declined to do so, citing a lack of capacity.
