Ukrainian Defense Official Advises NATO on Mobile and Underground Drone Command Centers
A Ukrainian defense official, Taras Berezovets, has advised NATO forces to ensure their drone units and command centers are mobile and ideally located underground. This recommendation comes from Ukraine's experience in the ongoing conflict with Russia, where drone warfare has proven to be a critical component. Berezovets, who heads the military cooperation department of Ukraine's Territorial Defense Forces, emphasized the high value of drone units as targets and the necessity of protecting them. He highlighted that the Russians are constantly searching for Ukrainian drone units, prompting Ukraine to frequently relocate them to avoid detection. At a drone summit in Latvia, Berezovets suggested that Western allies consider building drone command centers deeper underground, despite the higher costs, to enhance their security. This strategy is particularly challenging for smaller NATO countries with limited space for relocation.
