A flock of 100 drones and si: what are the UAVs and robotic platforms of the Armed Forces appeared on the front - the Telegraph
The Telegraph was told about Ukrainian terrestrial works and drones in the article published on April 22. The media talked with Ukrainian and Western manufacturers of drones of different types and concluded that Ukraine has become a landfill to create all new types of devices - aircraft, robotic platforms, HRs, etc. In real combat conditions, problems in the design and tactics of use are detected, then the analysis occurs, and the devices go to improvement.
Meanwhile, NATO member states have recently realized the importance of cheap and effective devices as opposed to the super-led Western counterparts, explained The Telegraph. If Ukraine's inventions are used on the battlefield, it will reduce the loss of people and protect civilians, brought journalists the opinion of one of the developers. However, it is noted that the rules of application of a new type of weapons should be developed. "People are a very unreliable and expensive asset in the war.
They need a lot of time and resources to study, they have emotions and endless needs. Machines do not have these shortcomings. Maybe cars may be more ethical than people. But we need to talk seriously to develop rules," - said the expert on artificial intelligence. One of the video published by the media showed an example of the use of ground drone.
The device quickly stroked between the obstacles on one of the front of the front and exploded at the entrance to the hiding place of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, explained in the description. The Telegraph spoke about four models of the latest Ukrainian drones, specifying each technical characteristics. The article states that Ukraine plans to release 15,000 land robots (UGV) this year, which will take effect on the front.
It is also indicated that today it is not about the "war of robots", but to integrate the new component into hostilities. The fighters cooperate with the developers and quickly make changes that make platforms more effective, explained the interlocutors of the media. "The focus will not be the replacement of infantry, but the integration of robots into military operations to gain technological advantage against Russia in the war for exhaustion.
The last three inventions in the article are robotic platforms: the media has shown another Ukrainian invention - the Gromilo drone. The fighters received a drone in January 2025: capable of carrying 3. 5 kg of explosives, unfolding for 5 minutes, has a thermal imager. Appointment - attacks on hostile units, equipment and shelter. Another area that develops in Ukraine is the integration of AI technologies.
The interlocutors of the journalists explained that the AI takes over the control of UAVs in the last seconds before the blow when the remedies of the enemy completely cut off the operator. In addition, it is expected that swarms of drones will appear that will threaten the positions of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. "Future of the drone war is associated with flocks where groups 10, 50, 100 autonomous unmanned aircraft coordinate and cooperate in missions.
Soon the war can go into a new era of killer robots. Perhaps in this or subsequent war," the article summarizes. It should be noted that on April 2 in Ukraine there were testing of robotic platforms on the fiber. The tests were conducted by representatives of the Armed Forces together with the developers from the cluster Brave1. The Defense Expres portal explained that the devices do not have FPV-a-kirds restrictions, so they can reach the targets at about 20 km.
