Ukrainian Armed Forces

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are the military forces of Ukraine, currently engaged in a large-scale conflict with Russia. They are newsworthy due to their ongoing defense of Ukrainian territory against the Russian invasion, which began in 2022. Recent reports indicate a shift in tactics, with increased reliance on drone warfare, specifically the use of fiber optic first-person-view (FPV) drones. The General Staff of the Ukrainian military estimates significant Russian personnel losses since the start of the conflict. The 24th Separate Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is actively engaged in combat, utilizing BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launch systems. The Ukrainian Armed Forces' ability to adapt to modern warfare and defend against a larger adversary underscores their current relevance and significance on the global stage.
