Ukraine's military advancements in unmanned systems, such as FPV drones, are increasingly challenged by Russia's adaptive drone warfare tactics, which have led to a shift in equipment losses favoring Russia by 2025. Despite possessing F-16 aircraft, Ukraine struggles with a shortage of Western-supplied munitions and faces manpower issues, making it difficult to maintain effective ground control. The ongoing development of mid-range strike drones is critical for Ukraine, as failure to enhance these capabilities could leave its military operations reactive to Russian strategies.
