Masters of skies: How "Triika" created its own air defense regiment, on which safety of fighters and rear-area cities depends Today, the Ground Forces’ air defense units at the front effectively constitute the first echelon of Ukraine’s air defense. By shooting down up to 70% of Shahed drones within their areas of responsibility, service members ease the burden on other layers of the air defense system. 137 0 Previously in trend: Drone industry Drone shootings over Ukraine 
How corps system works in warfare: Experience of 3rd Army Corps On June 4 last year, the Third Army Corps, commanded by Andrii Biletskyi, was the first among the corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to take over its area of responsibility and deploy into combat formations. This marked the beginning of a large-scale reform. Personnel trained, adopted experience, changed their approaches to work, and improved coordination between units. In less than a year, a single, well-coordinated military mechanism was formed. 6 123 21 Previously in trend: The Third Assault Brigade became the Third Army Corps Corps system in AFU

Biletskyi’s third corps enters battle: holds off enemy advance, stabilizes front and calls on all to serve Defense Forces began transitioning to a corps system in February 2025. The changes were driven by poor defensive effectiveness, poor command and control, and losses — so-called attached units were just plugging "holes," wearing down in battles. The corps were meant to change that. It’s important to understand that these are not new units, but formations that combine several brigades, battalions, and other units into a single mechanism — they operate along one frontline (rather than being scattered across different sectors) and have unified, stable command and control. Given the enormous cost of failure, the formation of corps was entrusted to Ukraine’s best brigades and commanders. The first to show results was the Third Army Corps under Colonel Andrii Biletskyi. 12 077 35
