  • Greeting from the Commandant of the National Defence University of Ukraine on the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
11.06.2026

Today, for the first time, Ukraine marks the Day of the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

This is the day of warriors who prove every day that superiority on the battlefield is born not only from courage, but also from knowledge, technology, creative thinking, and the ability to stay one step ahead of the enemy.

The Unmanned Systems Forces have become one of the most striking examples of how the Ukrainian military is transforming modern warfare. Their effectiveness, ingenuity, and professionalism have already secured a place in military history, while Ukraine’s experience is being studied by partners around the world.

Behind every successful operation stand people — operators, engineers, commanders, instructors, researchers, and developers who strengthen our nation’s defense capabilities every day and help save the lives of Ukrainian service members.

The National Defence University of Ukraine is proud to contribute to the education and training of military leaders and specialists of a new generation, capable of operating effectively in the environment of technological warfare and shaping the future of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

I sincerely thank all service members of the Unmanned Systems Forces for their dedication, professionalism, and significant contribution to the defense of Ukraine.

I wish you new achievements, sound decisions, reliable comrades-in-arms, and continued success in accomplishing your missions.

We are already shaping the future of the Ukrainian military. And we are destined for Victory!

Colonel General Mykhailo KOVAL
Commandant of the National Defence University of Ukraine
