Ukraine plans a massive expansion of its robotic arsenal, aiming to contract 25,000 new unmanned ground vehicles in the first half of this year. Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced the goal, which would double last year's total. The key objective is to automate 100% of front-line logistics, keeping soldiers and vehicles away from dangerous supply runs.
The initiative seeks to leverage a rapidly growing fleet of ground robots, also known as unmanned ground vehicles. These systems are already performing a variety of missions for Ukrainian troops. Their use has surged in recent months.
