In today's Back of the Brief, we turn to the war in Ukraine, where new data suggests Kyiv may be gaining ground in one of the most critical aspects of the modern battlefield, and that would be drone warfare.

The President's Daily Brief

According to reporting from United24 Media, citing Ukrainian officials, Ukraine's armed forces are now deploying roughly 30% more strike drones than Russian troops across the front line, a notable shift in what has become a drone-dominated conflict.

The figure comes from Brigadier General Pavlo Balisa, a senior official in Ukraine's presidential office, who said the current ratio of frontline strike drone usage now stands at 1.3 to 1 in Ukraine's favor.

And according to Balisa, that increased volume is already translating into battlefield results.

Earlier in the war, particularly during periods of Russian offensive operations, Moscow held a clear advantage in drone deployment, especially with so-called first-person view or FPV drones, which have become central to targeting troops and armor and defensive positions at the tactical level.
