On the party and political work of Ground Force Air Defence units in countering Unmanned Aerial Vehicles
Tuesday, October 31, 2023, 09:29 (GMT+7)
In combat in general, and ground force operations in particular, ground force air defence units are the primary contingents responsible for countering aerial threats to protect combined arms formations and critical objectives within provincial and city defence areas. In the event of a patriotic defensive war (if it occurs), the primary focus of this force is to engage the enemy's modern airborne assets, which boast high mobility, advanced technological weaponry, substantial destructive power, and sophisticated, extensive electronic and cyber warfare capabilities. Among these assets, UAVs are increasingly prevalent and represent a particularly dangerous high threat in combat. Therefore, alongside the effective organisation, preparation, and execution of combat activities, the Ground Force Air Defence units must implement a coordinated approach to enhance the effectiveness of party and political work, maintain and promote the role of political and spiritual elements, and improve overall quality of all aspects and fighting capability to counter UAVs effectively, successfully fulfilling assigned combat tasks.
