The spokesman of the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine, Andrii Yusov, said this on the air of the telethon. The Sych long-range UAV is able to conduct reconnaissance in the deep rear of invaders. According to Yusov, the domestic Sych unmanned reconnaissance aerial system has been used by the Ukrainian defense for a long time.

"The Sych UAV is indeed an extremely successful Ukrainian development. Initially, it was presented as a reconnaissance drone, later it was modified, and now it is used as a strike and reconnaissance drone. Ukrainian Special Forces effectively use it to destroy both manpower and enemy armored vehicles," the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine representative said.

He also added that in the strike mode, the Sych drone worked perfectly in a 50-kilometer zone behind enemy lines and is resistant to enemy electronic warfare. "Sych drones have already destroyed more than £100 million worth of enemy equipment by intelligence operators and special forces alone.

Sych has destroyed many enemy electronic warfare systems. There are several expensive electronic warfare systems, including Zhytel and others, whose price tag exceeds £10 million per unit," noted Andrii Yusov. These drones also destroyed enemy armored vehicles with personnel.

This is an advantage of this unmanned aerial vehicle," explained the DIU representative. According to him, Sych drones have proven themselves well. Therefore, the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine has already trained crews and instructors who train new operators.
