> "1,500 to 2,000km (930-1,240 miles) inside Russian territory is no longer the 'peaceful rear'," Robert Brovdi warns. "The freedom-loving Ukrainian 'bird' flies there whenever and wherever it wants." For comparison for the Americans, it's New York to Kansas City. For the Europeans, Copenhagen to Rome. Crazy that the Ukrainians can keep up command-and-control for drones over such a distance. Probably most of it is via Starlink...

So is he exaggerating or understating their capabilities? I'm surprised they'd disclose their capabilities.

Ukraine is going to win this war if we can just keep funding them long enough

I want to believe Brovdi, good for them.
