On October 1st, 2025, the 20th Gerbera-type drone was found during fieldwork.

Militarnyi previously reported that the Polish military planned to adopt Ukraine’s experience in countering Russian drones at a NATO training center in Poland.

According to Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski this cooperation will help the Polish army better prepare for potential future Russian attacks.

He emphasized that the Ukrainians who would be the ones teaching Poles how to counter Russia, adding that both Western governments and societies should’ve recognized that as soon as possible.
