Not only kamikaze drones: Ukraine is actively developing various robotic systems for the Defense Forces
Kyiv • UNN
Ukraine has tested more than 50 robotic ground platforms, including kamikaze drones, demining robots, and unmanned systems for delivering ammunition and evacuating wounded soldiers, and plans to deploy them on the battlefield in the coming months to minimize casualties and counter Russia's numerical superiority.
Ukraine is actively developing robotic ground platforms, more than a third of which have already been tested at a testing ground. This was stated by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov on his Telegram channel, UNN reports.

According to him, Brave1 tested 50+ complexes at the range. The tests included kamikaze platforms, turrets, platforms that destroy Russian positions and equipment, mine, demine, evacuate the wounded, and deliver ammunition to the positions.
Fedorov said that the robots have successfully proved themselves at the training ground, so in a few months they will be on the battlefield.
The main goal of ground robots is to minimize human involvement on the battlefield. This will help preserve the lives and health of Ukrainian soldiers. Ground robotic systems will become the next game changer in this war, as drones already are. This is an asymmetric response to the enemy's numerical superiority
According to Fedorov, the Brave1 cluster is doing everything to scale up the production of robots, and the state is starting to buy them en masse.
It is noted that more than 140 robotic systems are registered on the Brave1 platform, 96 of them have passed defense expertise, and 14 developments have been codified according to NATO standards. At the same time, some of these robots are already operating at the front, such as the ShaBlya turret.
Recall
Colonel Vadym Sukharevsky, deputy commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, said that the Ukrainian Armed Forces use unmanned aerial vehicles more effectivelythan Russian troops, with efficiency several points higher.
