In 2025, Ukraine may use a swarm of drones for military missions for the first time, Deputy Prime Minister for Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said. Such an innovative approach could be revolutionary on the battlefield and change the nature of modern warfare.
"I think that next year the percentage of autonomous drones with guidance will increase significantly. We may see the first real applications of drone swarms, although not on a mass scale. The first steps will be taken," the minister said in an interview with Reuters.
Fedorov noted that Ukraine already uses dozens of domestic artificial intelligence systems that allow drones to hit targets without the participation of pilots.
Previously, the media reported that Russia also plans to introduce artificial intelligence into the Shaheds to bypass Ukrainian air defenses.
Fedorov said that also next year Ukraine plans to use tens of thousands of ground drones to deliver shells and supplies to infantry in trenches, as well as to evacuate wounded soldiers. To produce 30 thousand long-range drones. And to create drones to shoot down "Shaheeds".
