The Unmanned Systems Forces (Russian: Войска беспилотных систем [ВБС], romanized: Voyska bespilotnykh sistem [VBS]) is a branch of the Russian Armed Forces dedicated to drone warfare. It was established on 12 November 2025.
The Unmanned Systems Forces conduct drone warfare using unmanned military drones on land, sea, and air. The establishment of the VBS is a formal recognition by the Russian military of the centrality of drone warfare and autonomous systems in contemporary conflicts, as well as Russian efforts to reorganise training, force structure, development, and provisioning related to drone warfare.
