- Vollständig
- Allgemeines Tätigkeitsfeld
- The full length of the front since 2022 — from the Kyiv defensive battles through the counteroffensives to the positional fighting around the Donbas hubs.
- Bemerkenswerte Geschichte
- Carried the weight of every phase of the war: the 2022 defence of Kyiv and the Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives, the 2023 southern offensive, and the long defensive battles since. Absorbed the bulk of Western equipment deliveries while expanding from a peacetime core to a mobilised force of dozens of brigades — a transformation achieved under fire.
- Stärken
- Deep combat experience at every echelon; proven ability to integrate a dozen foreign equipment families at once; a domestic artillery and drone industry increasingly behind it.
- Einschränkungen
- Infantry shortage is the binding constraint, publicly acknowledged since 2024; quality varies widely between veteran and newly formed brigades; dependent on Western ammunition and air-defence supply for high-intensity operations.

- Unmanned Systems Forces Institutionell verbunden mit · Stand 2026-06 · mittlere Konfidenz
Drone units are attached across the force rather than held within the branch, which concentrates doctrine, procurement and the elite strike formations. The edge records that distribution pattern; it asserts no command relationship in either direction.
Defence in depth with the drone as the primary shaping weapon. Hold with as little infantry as the ground allows, make the approaches to the line lethal for anything that moves, and trade space deliberately where the exchange favours the defence.
Bevorzugte Vorgehensweisen
Defence in depth, with the drone rather than artillery as the primary shaping weapon. The force holds forward positions thinly and relies on a deep contested zone behind and in front of the line, in which reconnaissance and strike drones make vehicle movement and troop concentration prohibitively costly. Artillery is used against what the drones find rather than as the primary means of attrition, a reversal of the pre-war relationship forced by ammunition scarcity as much as by choice. Where a position becomes untenable, withdrawal to prepared ground behind it is preferred to holding at cost — a principle stated more consistently than it has been applied, since political considerations have repeatedly kept forces in places the method would have given up.
Eine breite Verallgemeinerung darüber, wie diese Organisation vorgeht, eingestuft als Einschätzung — keine Beschreibung aktueller Taktiken und bewusst ohne Punktwert für Fähigkeit oder Wirksamkeit.
Führungsstil
More decentralised than its Soviet inheritance and less so than its partners' doctrine assumes. Brigade and battalion commanders exercise substantial latitude, and volunteer-origin formations retain distinct cultures. The persistent tension is between that latitude and a General Staff that has periodically centralised control of reserves and of withdrawal decisions, with the July 2026 command change the most recent episode in a recurring argument.
Wo diese Verallgemeinerung nicht trägt
The generalisation fails in two ways that matter. First, the stated preference for trading space has repeatedly been overridden — Bakhmut and Avdiivka were both held well past the point the method implies, for reasons that were political and reputational as much as military, and the module records that as a real feature rather than as a deviation. Second, "defence in depth" describes the east; the northern border is a standing screening commitment against a possibility, and the southern line is shaped by an obstacle rather than by a method.
Beobachtete Anpassungen
Institutionalisation of drone warfare as a separate branch rather than as a capability distributed across existing arms — the clearest structural expression of how the force decided to fight.
Abandonment of large combined-arms assault after the 2023 southern offensive, in favour of small-unit action supported by drones and artillery.
Corps-level command structures introduced to reduce the number of formations reporting directly to operational commands, an attempt to fix a span-of-control problem that grew with the force.
Was unbekannt bleibt
- Ukrainian doctrinal publications are not public, so this record describes observed practice.
- Decisions to hold or withdraw from specific positions are debated publicly after the fact and the reasoning is rarely documented.
- Force structure below the level published here is not disclosed, and no claim is made about the state of any formation.
Schlüsselereignisse
Die Ukraine ernennt Mykhailo Drapatyi zum Oberbefehlshaber
Präsident Selenskyj entließ am 21. Juli 2026 Oleksandr Syrskyi und ernannte Mykhailo Drapatyi zum Oberbefehlshaber der Streitkräfte der Ukraine; Generalmajor Ihor Skybiuk wurde am folgenden Tag zum Chef des Generalstabs ernannt. Der Kommandowechsel folgte auf eine breitere Regierungsumbildung — die Entlassung des Ministerpräsidenten und des reformorientierten Verteidigungsministers Mykhailo Fedorov — und sechs Tage Proteste in Kyiv.
