Evolution on the Battlefield: La Croix Assessment
The French publication La Croix analysed Boryviter’s training processes. Ivan Kovalov, Head of Autonomy and Unmanned Systems (UxS), and Yevhen Chemerys, Head of Counter-UAS (C-UAS) and SHORAD, outlined the core challenges of scaling operational capabilities.
Key takeaways:
- With rapidly evolving technology, cadets learn not only to pilot but also to assemble, modify, and repair devices directly in field conditions.
- Operating a drone requires analytical thinking and algorithmic actions. Despite the use of AI for targeting, the final engagement decision always rests with the operator.
- The publication highlighted the institutional impact of the Military School: 35,000+ trained military personnel.

The FPV War: How the Demand for an Asymmetrical Response Creates a New Model of Combat. Kunsht
Kunsht media outlet published a feature titled "The FPV War: How the Demand for an Asymmetrical Response Creates a New Model of Combat". Ivan Kovalov detailed the technical and tactical evolution of strike systems.
Key takeaways:
- Highly accurate and manoeuvrable FPV drones enable an effective asymmetrical response against the enemy. Today, a significant portion of enemy equipment and infantry are neutralised using these systems.
- The mass deployment of FPVs has changed the logic of combat, supplementing expensive reconnaissance-strike complexes. In addition to their primary strike roles, drones are heavily utilised for reconnaissance and logistics.
- There has been a shift from basic 5-inch drones to relevant 7-, 10-, and 15-inch platforms. These are capable of carrying larger payloads and operating at greater distances, including through the use of fibre optics.
