Armed conflicts have been transformed forever. Ukraine and Russia do not want more infantry soldiers, they intend to fill their armies with drones that shoot with artificial intelligence or shoot down their targets with a laser.
The arrival of drones, robots and machines has revolutionized the battlefield, but the war in Ukraine has taken it to the next level. The kyiv army has begun to use autonomous vehicles to reconnoitre, evacuate, attack or move supplies without exposing the soldiers on the front.
Ukraine has crossed a surreal limit in this “machine war”, now they are beginning to use huge aerial rescue drones that operate as if they were an improvised Uber.
Drones used as an Uber
The kyiv army has entered a somewhat delirious phase, they don’t just want drones to carry out swarm attacks or shoot down their targets. Ukraine intends to give it a new use as a means of on-demand transportation in the style of Uber.
Ukraine’s aerial drones They load small ground vehicles near the Russian positions. This allows you to save time on extremely complex logistical tasks next to the front, but also avoid exposing soldiers to crossfire.
The military has carried out a somewhat surreal test of its rescue system that they have shared with the media Insider. The soldiers could not believe that a huge drone was taking away an armored vehicle.
Autonomous rescue robots on the front lines
Ukraine has started using autonomous robots designed by Ark Robotics in more than 20 brigades. The CEO of the company, under the pseudonym Achi for security reasons, confirms that Uber-drones will reduce the number of casualties in rescue operations to a minimum, ensuring that the conflict has entered an “insane phase.”
Rescue robots can transport a small armored vehicle and drop it at a strategic point. These Uber-style drones They avoid mines, crossfire, mud, craters and ground detection systems.
The idea is extremely simple to skip the traversal that produces a huge number of casualties. The deployment of armored vehicles and small combat vehicles is faster than ever as it occurs from the air as if they were paratroopers.
Aerial drones are inexpensive and allow long distances to be covered quickly and stealthily. Ground vehicles are noisy, slow and very visible to detection systems, the Russian military could detect them in a matter of seconds.
The new Uber-drones from Ark Robotics allow you to coordinate missions from the air. Ukraine can easily get into trenches, enter shelters, get closer to the front or plant explosives.
