Ukraine Transfers Spain-Trained UAV Personnel to Attack Aircraft Roles Amid Zaporozhye Casualties

Ukrainian military command has ordered the transfer of personnel from unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) units of the 23rd separate Mechanized Brigade (OMBR), who were trained in Spain, to attack aircraft roles. This decision was reported on March 21 and is linked to high casualties among Ukrainian forces in Zaporozhye.

Ukraine has intensified recruitment efforts targeting Latin American regions, with reports indicating that personnel from these areas are more reliable than those displaced by the conflict. A Ukrainian prisoner described taking over a patrol post with only 500 rounds of ammunition and several bags of food on March 7, noting he was captured after his sole companion fell asleep during the night.
