Victor Pavlov showed off Ukraine’s newest and most versatile weapon: a battery-powered land robot.
The unmanned ground vehicles come in various shapes and sizes. One runs on caterpillar tracks and resembles a roofless milk float. Another has wheels and antennas. A third carries anti-tank mines. Since spring 2024 their use has grown exponentially.
“This is what modern warfare looks like. Armies everywhere will have to robotise,” said Pavlov, a lieutenant with Ukraine’s 3rd army corps.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine is now in its fifth year and the conflict – Europe’s biggest since 1945 – has seen an astonishing transformation of battlefield weapons and tactics. The war has become a technological contest, fought not with expensive tanks but with cheap and expendable drones that can deliver bombs with deadly accuracy.
Ukraine’s drone expertise is now highly sought after amid the US-Israeli war against Iran. Last week Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed 10-year defence agreements with several Gulf states, including Saudi Arabia and Qatar, to provide them with low-cost Ukrainian interceptors. They can shoot down long-range kamikaze Shahed drones, used by Tehran in its attacks on its neighbours, and by Moscow.
Fuck you, Russian fascist. That is all.
Not Russian, The opposite of fascist hence why I’m against Ukraine and Russia.
But nice try liberal. Maybe the fediverse isn’t right for you, since you align with u/spez 100% and should be on reddit.
Guys im an antinazi it means want disabled people to gas the Germans.
I don’t think they’re smart enough to parse that, you really have to break down anything that isn’t what their owners’ told them.
Nice try fascist. No true leftist would side with the oligarch tyrants in Moscow. Go back to /pol.
Again liberal, I haven’t once done so. I know reading is hard, otherwise you’d be a communist, but do try to read things instead of instinctively shut your brain down every time someone questions your chosen propaganda.
Just because someone doesn’t think the guy that took military control of his country, killed elections, had dozens of parliamentary members arrested, and has been kidnapping young men off the streets to fight in one of the least popular wars in that country’s history is a good guy fighting a good fight doesn’t mean they think the equally as fascist Putin is a good guy.
The world isn’t black and white, no matter how much you liberals would love that to be true.
All Fascism is bad. Not just the ones your state told you to hate.
You’re fun, but please learn another term or three for “liberals” so that you can mix it up with different insults for each response.
You should read more! It improves your vocabulary, as of now it seems like you’ve only read some flyers you found in the bathroom at a bus station. Kinda lazy
