Ground Robots in the War in Ukraine
According to Forbes, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) dominate the skies in the Russian-Ukrainian war, while ground-based robotic systems are becoming increasingly used by both sides.
The active use of UAVs has formed a "kill zone" on the front, reaching 25 kilometers deep from the contact line, making logistics tasks challenging and prompting the use of uncrewed vehicles to reduce personnel losses.
Both sides are using drones to attack transport supplying ammo and provisions to enemy-controlled villages and towns, effectively putting them under siege, and ground robotic systems are being used to break these sieges.
Ground robots could decide the outcome of the war in Ukraine.
The use of ground-based robotic systems is becoming more widespread as both sides try to gain control of enemy-controlled villages and towns.
