The Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert «Magyar» Brody, spoke at the LANDEURO 2025 exercise, where he said that 95% of the personnel of the 12 units under his command are former civilians. The UAS force makes up only 2% of the Defense Forces, but they account for a third of the enemy’s casualties.
The Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Robert «Magyar» Brody, spoke at the LANDEURO 2025 exercise, where he said that 95% of the personnel of the 12 units under his command are former civilians. The UAS force makes up only 2% of the Defense Forces, but they account for a third of the enemy’s casualties.
«Today I am uniting 12 pilot units. 95% of them are civilians before the war. They are businessmen, athletes, lawyers, singers — anyone, but not military people. Our total strength is 2% of the entire army of Ukraine. We destroy one out of every three enemy manpower units and one out of every three enemy targets», — said «Magyar» during his speech.
According to him, there is currently no tank in the world that could not destroy a drone for $300–400.
«No matter how well protected a tank is, it will be stopped by a drone made from Ukrainian components. And that is why I claim that Ukrainian drones are the best in the world today», — the SBS commander believes.
Brody called one of the main challenges that the Russians mobilize more occupiers per month than they destroy the Defense Forces. He also said that drones in Ukraine have created a kill zone of about 20 km around the front line. Another challenge, he said, is the replacement of the Ukrainian infantry with ground robotic complexes that will take over all logistics near the front. The Iranian-Russian «Shaheeds», whose production was scaled up in the Russian Federation, also pose a great threat.
Robert «Magyar» Brovdi delivered hard truths about the war to NATO generals at LANDEURO 2025 in Wiesbaden.

🔻Key points:
• No tank in the world can withstand a $400 drone.
• What will NATO do if Shaheds fly over Europe? Your doctrines need an urgent review.
• Unmanned Systems… pic.twitter.com/uqUSFFid5V
«I don’t know which NATO member country is capable of defending a specific city of its own by accepting at least 200-300 martyrs seven days a week without stopping», — added «Magyar».
He said that he had previously visited a military base in one of the NATO countries and talked about its vulnerability.
«Without coming closer than 10 km to that place, four calculations of Ukrainian pilots would have turned this place into Pearl Harbor in 15 minutes,» the Ukrainian commander added.
According to Robert Brovdy, Ukraine has invaluable experience in modern warfare that it can share with «sane countries» that support it during a full-scale invasion.
