Ukraine's burgeoning ground drone fleet touts major advantage
Kyiv is cultivating new ground drone fleets, which it hopes can give Ukrainian troops an edge over a more vast, better-resourced Russian Army by overcoming widespread and increasingly problematic jamming, Ukrainian personnel involved in the push for unmanned ground vehicles told Newsweek.
"We see [UGVs] as the next game-changer in this war," said Nataliia Kushnerska, chief operations officer at the Ukrainian defense technology
Kyiv's Volya-E robot has managed, so far, to evacuate more than 100 injured or killed Ukrainian soldiers, according to Ukrainian officials, while the Ratel-S blew up a bridge in the eastern Donetsk region that was key for Russian logistics along the front line, Kushnerska said.
Designs coming out of Ukraine have included experimental ground robots equipped with machine guns or kamikaze UGVs like the Ratel-S.
