‘The frontline is like Terminator’: fighting robots give Ukraine hope in war with Russia
AI Summary
In the ongoing war with Russia, Ukraine is increasingly relying on unmanned ground robots (UGVs) for logistics and combat. Since spring 2024, the use of these battery-powered robots has grown significantly, with the Ukrainian army carrying out 7,000 operations using UGVs in January alone. These robots, which come in various forms, are used to transport supplies, deliver explosives, and defend positions, reducing the need for human soldiers in dangerous areas. The conflict has transformed Ukraine into a hub for unmanned weapons development, with rapid innovation driven by feedback from frontline soldiers. Ukraine is also exporting its drone technology, signing agreements with Gulf states to provide anti-drone interceptors.
