A Ukrainian military commander has warned NATO countries that they are not ready for modern warfare and must urgently change their doctrines, militarnyi.com reported.

Robert Iosifovich Brovdy, call sign “Magyar“, heads the Unmanned Systems Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. He said he does not know of any NATO country capable of defending its cities if faced with 200-300 “Shahed“ drones every day, seven days a week.

During the LANDEURO 2025 forum in Wiesbaden, Germany, a Ukrainian major emphasized the enormous importance of drones in modern warfare. “Magyar“ said that it is now the norm for a $400 drone to be able to destroy a tank worth millions.

Ukrainian experience should be integrated into European security systems, said Brodsky. According to him, Russia has drastically increased the production of drones with which it constantly attacks Ukraine, and NATO countries should prepare for waging this kind of war.

“When Putin was launching 100 “Shahed“ drones per day at Ukraine, he promised 500, and we did not perceive it as a serious threat. Today, this is no laughing matter - the threshold of 400 drones per day has already been crossed. Our experience will be invaluable to the entire rational world, because any country could face such a scenario. I don't know of a single NATO country capable of defending its cities if it were faced with 200-300 "Shahed" every day, seven days a week. Your national security urgently requires a strategic reassessment, "said Robert "Magyar" Brody.

"Four of our drone crews could destroy a NATO base in 15 minutes, from a distance of 10 km. They could turn it into Pearl Harbor. I don't say this to scare anyone - just to point out that these technologies are now so accessible and cheap. If they fall into the hands of terrorists, they could destabilize an entire country. That is why our common struggle is in the interest of all of us“, said Brovdi, calling on NATO countries to urgently take measures to protect their citizens.
