The Unmanned Systems Forces are continuing to expand, with several of their units increasing in size. This development was confirmed by the commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces, Major Robert Brovdy, also known as Magyar<\/em>, on his Telegram<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 14th Regiment of Unmanned Drones has been reorganized into the 1st Center of the Unmanned Systems Forces, while the 20th Brigade has officially completed its transition from a regiment to a full brigade, a process first reported<\/a> by MilitaryLand<\/em> on September 2, 2025. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, the 412th Regiment \u201cNemesis\u201d has been elevated to brigade level and is now designated as the 412th Brigade of Unmanned Systems Forces. The 413th Battalion \u201cRaid\u201d has also grown, expanding to the size of a regiment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the Unmanned Systems Forces account for just 2% of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. The goal, however, is to raise that figure to at least 5%, a threshold Magyar described as crucial for strengthening Ukraine\u2019s defense posture. \u201cCompetent mobilization, supply, and employment are guaranteed,\u201d<\/em> he emphasized.<\/p>\n","post_excerpt":"","post_author":"1","post_date":"2025-10-02 20:29:35","post_date_gmt":"2025-10-02 18:29:35","post_status":"publish","comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","post_password":"","post_name":"the-drone-force-continues-to-expand","to_ping":"","pinged":"","post_modified":"2025-10-02 20:29:36","post_modified_gmt":"2025-10-02 18:29:36","post_content_filtered":"","post_parent":0,"guid":"https:\/\/militaryland.net\/?p=66431","menu_order":0,"post_type":"post","post_mime_type":"","comment_count":"1","comments":[{"comment_ID":"15701","comment_post_ID":"66431","comment_author":"Patrick","comment_author_email":"patrickrobert1389@aol.com","comment_author_url":"","comment_author_IP":"193.239.221.230","comment_date":"2025-10-03 17:28:37","comment_date_gmt":"2025-10-03 15:28:37","comment_content":"Unrelated but good to know: Russia's advance slowed in September, with net territorial gains limited to just 260 square kilometers.","comment_karma":"0","comment_approved":"1","comment_agent":"Mozilla\/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit\/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome\/141.0.0.0 Safari\/537.36","comment_type":"comment","comment_parent":"0","user_id":"0","pod_item_id":"15701"}],"_thumbnail_id":["42342","1","2025-02-02 23:10:48","2025-02-02 22:10:48","","news_droneforces","Unmanned Systems Forces","inherit","open","closed","","news_droneforces","","","2025-10-02 20:24:12","2025-10-02 18:24:12","","42331","https:\/\/militaryland.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/news_droneforces.webp","0","attachment","image\/webp","0","42342"],"category":[{"term_id":"3","name":"\u041d\u043e\u0432\u0438\u043d\u0438","slug":"news","term_group":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"3","taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":"0","count":"1063","object_id":"85345","term_order":"0","pod_item_id":"3"},{"term_id":"4","name":"\u041e\u0434\u0438\u043d\u0438\u0446\u0456","slug":"units","term_group":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"4","taxonomy":"category","description":"","parent":"0","count":"391","object_id":"85393","term_order":"0","pod_item_id":"4"}],"post_tag":[{"term_id":"1142","name":"\u0410\u0440\u043c\u0456\u044f","slug":"army","term_group":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"1142","taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":"0","count":"298","object_id":"85345","term_order":"0","pod_item_id":"1142"},{"term_id":"1162","name":"\u0440\u043e\u0437\u0448\u0438\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u044f","slug":"expansion","term_group":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"1162","taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":"0","count":"9","object_id":"77891","term_order":"0","pod_item_id":"1162"},{"term_id":"1157","name":"\u0443\u043a\u0440\u0430\u0457\u043d\u0430","slug":"ukraine","term_group":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"1157","taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":"0","count":"102","object_id":"85345","term_order":"0","pod_item_id":"1157"},{"term_id":"1166","name":"\u0431\u0435\u0437\u043f\u0456\u043b\u043e\u0442\u043d\u0456 \u0441\u0438\u0441\u0442\u0435\u043c\u0438","slug":"unmanned-systems","term_group":"0","term_taxonomy_id":"1166","taxonomy":"post_tag","description":"","parent":"0","count":"3","object_id":"68532","term_order":"0","pod_item_id":"1166"}],"post_format":false,"id":66431},{"ID":78406,"post_title":"Awards Presented on the Full-Scale Invasion Anniversary","post_content":"\n
