Robot wars - what an operation in Ukraine tells us about the battlefield of the near future
Ukraine's President Zelensky claims a military operation was conducted using only robots and drones, seizing enemy territory. UFORCE, a Ukrainian-British military start-up, has conducted over 150,000 combat missions since 2022.
A Ukrainian-British military start-up, UFORCE, claims its drones are being used in combat operations in Ukraine. UFORCE's UK director of strategic partnerships, Rhiannon Padley, stated that the company has conducted over 150,000 successful combat missions since the full-scale Russian invasion in 2022. The use of robotic weapon systems is becoming increasingly prevalent, with Russia also deploying robots designed to deliver explosives into Ukrainian positions. Analysts say advances in this technology are likely to reshape how future wars are fought. UFORCE has expanded rapidly and achieved 'unicorn' status, a valuation of over $1bn. The company is part of a growing group of defence companies incorporating artificial intelligence into weapons systems.
