He also said that the powers of the TIC include the study of circumstances and the preparation of questions regarding, in particular, the needs of the security and defence sector in unmanned aerial vehicles and the formation of a state order for the production and purchase of UAVs.

It is also a study of the circumstances and preparation of questions regarding the analysis of the practice of distribution, transfer, supply and taking on the balance of drones to military units and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations formed following the laws of Ukraine; the arrangement of fortification structures, engineering barriers on the line of contact and targeted use of funds allocated for their arrangement.

AFU Support Forces described the features of building fortifications

According to the AFU Support Forces commander, Dmytro Gerega, Ukrainian engineering and positional units are building strongholds on the 2nd defence line, handed over to mechanized units.

We are installing modern anti-drone defence; I will not tell you in detail so as not to reveal all the secrets to the Russians, but what our units are building will save many lives of our soldiers.

The construction of strongholds on the second line is a danger to life. When the Russians see how Ukrainian earthmoving machines work, they immediately try to destroy them. Engineering workers are the priority of Russian occupiers.
