Ukrainian drone operators forced NATO to revise its tactics during exercises in Sweden

During the "Aurora-26" military exercises in Sweden, Ukrainian drone operators—who were acting as a simulated adversary—forced NATO units to revise their tactics on several occasions.

This was reported in a segment on "Yedyny Novyny."

The exercises took place on the strategic island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea, where the allies practiced scenarios for defending against potential aggression.

The Ukrainian side was represented, in particular, by operators of reconnaissance and strike drones with combat experience.

According to Ukrainian military officials, the Swedish side paused the exercise scenario three times to adjust their actions, as the units would have been virtually destroyed under real combat conditions.

Representatives of the Swedish command acknowledged that Ukraine has significantly more practical experience in drone warfare and noted that Western military personnel have much to learn from Ukrainian fighters.

The occupiers complain that the Ukrainian Armed Forces are using drones to cut off the land corridor to Crimea.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces eliminated another 1,020 Russian troops on the front lines over the past 24 hours.
