- Ukraine is aiming to field a diverse arsenal of ground robots to help support its war efforts.
- These robots can launch assaults, lay mines, and deliver supplies to the front lines.
- One senior Ukrainian official said they could be the "next game-changer technology" of the war.
Ukraine has its eyes set on a dynamic fleet of ground robots to fight alongside — and, sometimes, instead of — its soldiers in combat as Kyiv continues growing its arsenal of unmanned systems.
These robotic systems, also known as unmanned ground vehicles, can launch assaults on Russian positions, self-destruct next to enemy armor, and deliver ammunition to front-line positions, among various other tasks.
UGVs have already carried out these kinds of missions, though not on the same scale as Ukraine's unmanned aerial vehicles and drone boats.
