On Land and Sky - The CVN Unmanned Systems Squad

The Combat Veteran News (CVN) Team and Ukraine Aid Operations are teaming up again — and this time we're zeroing in on something Paul has been covering more and more on the CVN channel: the units doing some of the most innovative and dangerous drone work on the entire front.

Over the last year, Ukraine has built entirely new formations around unmanned warfare —  Unmanned Systems Battalions, like "Sapsan", "Raid" or "Aeron". These guys are writing the playbook for robotic ground combat as well as mid- and long-range strike in real time, often funding critical gear out of their own pockets while delivering some of the most consequential blows deep behind Russian lines. They are, quite literally, the future of this war — and they're doing it with the support from all over the world.

Ground Drones change the logistics game

Units & Equipment

Our campaign focuses primarily on the Unmanned Systems Battalions that currently dominate the battlefield so much. In particular, we aim to support these units:

• 1st Unmanned Systems Center
• 9th Unmanned Systems Brigade
• 413th Unmanned Systems Regiment
• 421th Unmanned Systems Battalion
• 435th Unmanned Systems Division
• Other drone units

We want to make the biggest possible impact on the battlefield. We aim to achieve this by applying these key equipment piece:

• Ground drones (UGVs) that resupply forward positions and evacuate wounded across fields no truck or pickup can survive
• Heavy-lift transport drones for the "last mile" — moving ammo, supplies, and "Vampire" drone batteries to the line without a single soldier on the road
• Mid-range drone components for the units reaching deep into occupied territory
• Support and energy equipment supporting our drone units
