LUGANSK, October 1. /TASS/. Ukrainian authorities are trying to find ways to counter Russian unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), but these efforts are unsuccessful, as Russia already has the next generation of UAVs, military expert Andrey Marochko told TASS.

"Regarding the unmanned aerial vehicles of the Russian Armed Forces, I would like to note that at the moment we are not limited to the same Geran-4 models, which are equipped with jet engines. Ukrainian militants are currently making a concerted effort to find a way to counter these unmanned aerial vehicles, but their attempts are in vain, because by the time they find a way to counter the Geran-4s, we will already have the next generation of UAVs," he said.

According to the expert, the new generation of Russian drones will not be vulnerable to Ukrainian air defense systems. The new UAVs will circumvent the forces and capabilities currently being developed on a massive scale within Ukraine. "We are always one step ahead, while Ukraine is lagging behind in this regard," Marochko concluded.
