Ukrainian attack drones, developed using Western technology, continue to improve and are approaching the characteristics of American JASSM and JASSM-ER cruise missiles. This evolution poses a serious challenge to Russia, as the improvement of long-range drones makes them more autonomous and less dependent on external permissions for use, according to the Telegram channel "Operativnaya Liniya".
Ukrainian drone developments based on advanced Western technologies have become a key element of the strategy in the conflict with Russia. Unmanned vehicles, which have received powerful navigation systems and high-precision strike capabilities, can eventually reach the level of advanced models, such as JASSM, which are widely used in the US Army. This is due, among other things, to the long flight range of the UAV.
Experts believe that Kyiv will bet on the development of these UAVs, which is due to the possibility of producing dozens of them per month at a relatively low cost.
