‘Robots don’t bleed’: Ukraine sends machines into the battlefield in place of human soldiers
Ukraine is increasingly using robots and drones in place of human soldiers on the battlefield, with the goal of replacing a third of infantry with machines this year. The use of land drones and ground robotic systems has saved lives and is changing the face of warfare.
Ukraine is deploying robots and drones on the battlefield, reducing the need for human soldiers. A Ukrainian unit, NC13, used ground robots and drones to take an enemy position without firing a shot, capturing Russian soldiers. The use of land drones, which are harder to spot and more durable than aerial drones, has become common. Ukraine's Third Separate Assault Brigade has used a land robot equipped with a machine gun to hold off a Russian advance for 45 days. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky claims drones and robots have conducted over 22,000 missions in the past three months, saving lives. The goal is to replace a third of infantry with drones and robots this year, driven by Ukraine's numerical disadvantage against Russia.
