Kiev is accelerating the development and production of new terrestrial robots to replace their human soldiers on the front line – and continue to face Russian invaders.
The director of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense Department of Defense Ministry, Hlib Kanevsky, stated that they will be placed on the front lines until the end of the year 15 000 New Robots of terrestrial combat.
Ukraine has long used advanced autonomous weapons to replace human soldiers on the battlefield, but the recent announcement means a dramatic increase both of its production and its use In the war, note o.
The conflict that broke out in Ukraine three years ago, with the Russian invasion, showed that the use of land combat robots is fundamental to the modern war.
Kiev has been using them often in their military operations to recognition, elimination of bombs, supply transportationS, evacuation of victims, and tactical support with drones.
Exactly a year ago, the story happened: Russian non -manned land robots entered combat armed with their grenades and anti-tanque mines, and Ukraine answered with attacks from drones “kamikaze”.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has recently increased investment in these robotic systems, with a budget that is expected to reach $ 150 million by the first quarter of 2025.
“Unlike the enemy, The key of Ukraine is its people. Technology, in particular unmanned land vehicles, allows to minimize human involvement on the battlefield, preserving the lives and health of Ukrainian soldiers, ”he explained at the time to Nataliia kushnerskaDirector of Operations of, the Ukrainian government’s defense innovations platform.
“We are confident that unmanned land vehicles will become the next war revolution, as the drones have already been,” added Kusherska. “It is our asymmetrical response to the numerical advantage of the enemy ”.
Part of the solution to these problems will reside in the Advance of Artificial Intelligencewhich can increase the autonomy of these devices and reduce the dependence on human control. In addition, Ukrainian engineers are already working to Improve stabilitythe useful load capacity and accuracy of their robots.
They are also trying to develop safer communication networks, such as new satellite internet systems, not under the control of Elon Musk and US geopolitical whims, and advanced encryption systems.
The land robots of Ukraine
Recently, it has enumerated the advanced military technologies that Ukraine has been using in recent months:
Fighting Module (November 2, 2024): A remote control tower equipped with two machine guns, including a large gun. It has an automated shooting system that can locate and reach mobile targets day and night.
Remotely piloted combat module (December 21, 2024): A light, long -range module that can be transported by a single soldier.
ZMIY LOGISTIC SYSTEM (January 30, 2025): Land robot with ballistic protection and antiminas, designed for logistics and evacuation missions.
Unmanned Air System (January 31, 2025): Unmanned aerial system capable of attacking enemy personnel, military equipment and shelters on the ground.
Terrestrial robotic system (February 4, 2025): Robotic system designed for evacuation, troop transport and delivery of ammunition.
Earth robotic system (March 18, 2025): Recently received green light to be used on the front line and has an advanced maneuver and firepower.
Ukraine’s armed forces seem to be preparing at a rapid step for the-which will not be fought by soldiers.
