Commander Shamil Krutkov reveals his brigade lacks enough drones to fully execute missions and protect soldiers.

This episode features an interview with Commander Shamil Krutkov of the 93rd Separate Mechanized Brigade on Armia FM. Krutkov begins by addressing limitations in movement and task execution due to drone shortages. He states his brigade is not technically secure enough, lacking sufficient unmanned aerial vehicles. The commander mentions significant improvements since December 2024 but emphasizes ongoing resource gaps. He details that most drones in the brigade are funded by volunteers, city communities, or foreign partners. Krutkov lists specific drone models: Mavic and Matrice for reconnaissance, and Vampyr, Heavyshot, Kajan, and Nemesis as top hexocopters. He notes that since January 2026, spare parts procurement has been simplified by the Ministry of Defence. When asked about Russian drones, Krutkov admits they work more efficiently. He discusses the goal of destroying 50,000 Russian soldiers monthly, linking it to the need for more drones to engage targets at depths of 5-15 kilometers. Krutkov shares his leadership philosophy, emphasizing honesty and personal responsibility. The interview concludes with his wishes for health and strength to fellow defenders.
