What do Ukraine's robot soldiers mean for the future of warfare?
What are Russia's gains from the Iran war? 'We are not losers; we are winners' What do Ukraine's robot soldiers mean for the future of warfare? In a scene reminiscent of a computer war game, three battle-fatigued soldiers, dressed in white snow camouflage, emerge from a war-torn alley with their hands raised above their heads. They crouch down, following the orders being blasted at them, fear and shock etched across their faces as they stare down the barrel of a machinegun mounted on a so-called ground robot. In April, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that, for the "first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms - ground systems and drones". "Ground robotic systems have already carried out more than 22,000 missions on the front in just three months," he wrote in a post on X, alongside images of green machines with tank tracks and weapons mounted on top.
