Ground Robots in the War in Ukraine
According to Forbes, unmanned aerial vehicles are dominant in the Russian-Ukrainian war, while ground-based robotic systems are becoming increasingly used by both sides.
The active use of UAVs has created a "kill zone" up to 25 kilometers deep from the contact line, making logistics tasks challenging and prompting the use of uncrewed vehicles to reduce personnel losses.
Both sides are trying to take enemy-controlled villages and towns under drone siege.
Ground robotic systems are being used to break such sieges, as FPV drones are effective in attacking transport supplying ammo and provisions to enemy garrisons.
