The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) for the first time carried out a military operation in which robotic ground systems were used instead of infantry. This was reported by the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) with reference to the Ukrainian military.
According to ISW, Ukrainian units attacked the positions of Russian troops near the village of Liptsy, located north of Kharkiv. The operation used robotic platforms, including ground-based unmanned devices equipped with machine guns and drones to detect and clear areas. As a result of the attack, the positions of Russian forces were destroyed.
The Ukrainian side has repeatedly emphasized that the use of technological innovations makes it possible to compensate for the lack of manpower. In turn, Russia suffers huge losses for the sake of capturing insignificant territories, ISW notes.
