Behind the killer robots of Ukraine's new warfare 'revolution'
Kyiv says the vehicles have carried out more than 50,000 logistics and evacuation missions as commanders add them to frontline assaults.
- On September 11, mechanic "Chimera" and Ukraine's Third Army Corps prepared "Hyenas" unmanned ground vehicles for battle in a workshop near the front line in northeastern Ukraine.
- Facing relentless infantry assaults in the fifth year of war, Kyiv's outmanned army employs workshops across the 1,200-km front to gain technological edge and preserve soldier lives on a drone-saturated battlefield.
- Deputy commander "Bar" noted unmanned ground vehicles remove humans from dangerous tasks. "They don't need food, they don't need water, they don't need logs delivered to build shelters," he said.
- Infantry now performs just 10% of the tasks handled before constant aerial threats emerged, according to the Third Army Corps, which completed more than 50,000 logistics and evacuation missions this year.
- Biletskyi warned the West "slept through the revolution in many ways," emphasizing authorities must prioritize the next technological revolution to remain ahead in warfare rather than simply keeping pace.
