Ukraine's Unmanned Systems Forces commander Madyar:

First, NATO should build a buffer zone along every border.

Call it a drone work zone, not a kill zone. From 0 to 5 km, enemy movement must become impossible under a drone shield.

Madyar: Second: run a fiber-optic grid into that zone. It should connect UAV launch pads to command posts far from the front.

One operator should not fly one drone. From a command post, one operator must be able to launch 5, 10 or 15 drones on the front line.

2/

Brovdi: Third: build air defense made only to fight drones: scouts and Shahed-type munitions. Shaheds cost $50,000-$70,000, fly far and hit hard.

Today Putin sends 300. In a year, he may send 1,000 a day. No country can stop 1,000 Shaheds a day with Patriots.

3/

Brovdi: Fourth: each country needs an Unmanned Systems brigade with at least 300 crews: patrols, deep reconnaissance, FPV strikes, night copters, minelayers, logistics and other tasks.

In war, one brigade can fully protect 100 km.

4/

Brovdi: Fifth: deep strikes and mid-range strikes.

Every NATO country can create its first 30, 40 or 50 deep-strike crews by the end of this year.
