Ukraine has set out to establish a 15-kilometer unmanned “kill zone” along the front lines, deploying advanced surveillance and strike drones against Russian troops, Defense News reports.
The Drone Line project, announced by the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense on 9 February, aims to build continuous drone reconnaissance capabilities and boost coordination with infantry units, creating a buffer zone where no troops can move undetected, according to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov.
“Ukraine’s drone innovation has been remarkable throughout this conflict, consistently finding ways to counter Russian advantages with limited resources,” wrote Elisabeth Gosselin-Malo, Europe correspondent for Defense News.
Mykyta Rozhkov, chief managing officer at Ukrainian robotics engineering company Frontline, said the zone “reflects current technological capabilities and strategic considerations,” enabling effective reconnaissance and engagement before enemy forces can threaten Ukrainian positions. He added that drone production rates could potentially expand the range to 40 kilometers.
“The timing of this initiative is particularly strategic as Ukraine seeks to strengthen its defensive posture ahead of potential negotiations,” Gosselin-Malo noted.
The announcement preceded US proclamations suggesting Ukraine and Europe would largely be bystanders in Washington-Moscow negotiations aimed at ending the war, with high-ranking delegations scheduled to meet in Riyadh.
According to Valerii Iakovenko, founder of DroneUA, Ukrainian companies can currently produce approximately 2,500 heavy drones monthly and 4,000 small drones daily. The Ukrainian pavilion at the IDEX defense expo showcased various unmanned systems, including the Chaklun family of drones manufactured by RC Direction.
Ivan Sybyriakov from SPETS Techno Export highlighted that these drones can “stay in the air for more than two hours in monitoring mode, which is much longer than conventional FPVs.” Drones have become a central weapon of the Russo-Ukrainian war, with the number of uncrewed systems—mostly airborne but not exclusively—reaching astonishing levels.
It is estimated that about 100 different types of drones are in use in Ukraine, ranging from toy-sized systems to larger models with wingspans of almost 20 meters.
Intelligence gathering and strike operations, as well as target support for other military systems, are crucial functions of drones. But they also play diverse roles, such as serving as decoys, acting as relays for signals, transporting equipment, and laying mines. Both Ukraine and Russia build these systems themselves, acquire them from allies, or use modified civilian drones.
The nature of the war in Ukraine has favoured drones. It is fought over land. Crewed aircrafts were for extended periods neutralised by air defences. Civilian drones are widely available, even if they’re not always the most effective option: a dedicated anti-tank weapon is usually more suitable for engaging a tank than a drone with first-person view. But when the former is not available, the latter might be a good enough alternative. And with Ukraine struggling with shortages of ammunition and military equipment for its artillery, drones have in part helped to fill this gap.
