☆ Ground robots may be the 'next game-changer technology' of the war, senior Ukrainian official says

Read previewUkraine has its eyes set on a dynamic fleet of ground robots to fight alongside — and, sometimes, instead of — its soldiers in combat as Kyiv continues growing its arsenal of unmanned systems. Multiple ground robots at a UNITED24 summit. UNITED24The new ground combat robots can assault and defend positions, as well as conduct surveillance and reconnaissance, all while being operated remotely from up to two-and-a-half miles away. Ground robots have even been involved in drone-on-drone combat, underscoring a level of depth and sophistication to these operations. The evolution of unmanned systems has been one of the defining elements of the Ukraine war.

Read previewUkraine and Israel are exploring cost-effective ways of countering drones as they both face repeated attacks from their determined adversaries. Israel has one of the world's most advanced air defense networks but is still having trouble countering these drones. Zinchenko/Getty ImagesUkraine needs a cost-effective solution to defeat the thousands of Russian one-way drone attacks that have forced Kyiv to expend large quantities of its expensive air defense missiles to shoot down. Related storiesCEPA's Borsari believes the M61 cannon could be an "interesting solution" for countering certain drones. "In principle, its use in both fixed and mobile applications is not new and is conceptually similar to many other anti-aircraft guns that have been used for counter-drone purposes in Ukraine," Borsari said.

A new video appears to show a Ukrainian ground drone detonating near a Russian trench. AdvertisementNew footage from Ukraine appears to show Ukrainian forces using an unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) to strike a Russian trench. A new fleet of UGVsThe Russia-Ukraine war has been marked by the frequent use of aerial drone warfare, but ground drones are a more recent phenomenon. On Wednesday, Ukraine's minister of digital transformation, Mykhailo Fedorov, shared footage on X of one such drone — the Ratel S, a remotely operated ground drone designed to carry bombs and anti-tank mines. Many of the ground drones are being developed by Ukraine's Brave1 , a government platform that brings together innovative companies to boost Ukraine's war effort.

Two quadcopter drones can be seen on video blowing up Russia's unmanned ground vehicles, or UGVs. AdvertisementNewly released footage shows Ukrainian quadcopter drones blowing up Russian grenade-launching robots, offering a rare glimpse of unmanned systems fighting each other on the battlefield. A video of the Ukrainian drones incapacitating Russian combat UGVs in yesterday's battle in the Avdiiv direction. Saturday's engagement also underscores the emerging role of unmanned ground vehicles, or UGVs, in the war. He said it's unclear if the Russian UGVs in the video were sent into battle instead of soldiers or in tandem with them.

☆ Ukraine war footage captures a different kind of exploding drone driving for miles on a suicide mission to blow up a bridge

Read previewNew footage from the war in Ukraine to show an unmanned ground vehicle loaded up with explosives driving for miles to hit a road bridge. Eventually, the drone makes its way to the underpass of a large road bridge, subsequently exploding beneath it. Video was posted a week ago.https://t.co/SSvl2IaRcZ pic.twitter.com/tTbqKI5E7S — Rob Lee (@RALee85) June 12, 2022Some UGVs, like the THeMIS vehicle Ukraine has, are designed to evacuate injured troops and transport supplies. UAVs, which have shaped much of the fighting in Ukraine, are often employed for one-way strike missions, dropping explosives, and reconnaissance. Ukraine has also used exploding drone boats, unmanned surface vessels, or USVs, loaded with explosives, to strike targets at sea.

☆ Ground vehicles are the new frontier in Ukraine's drone war
  + stars: | 2023-07-13 | by ( Max Hunder | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +5 min
[1/5] Yevhen Hnatok, 22, former Ukrainian serviceman, shows an unmanned ground vehicle, with his patches, in workshop, amid Russia's attack on Ukraine, in Kyiv region, Ukraine, July 5, 2023. Among the Ukrainian engineers working in the sector is 22-year-old Yevhen Hnatok, who said he had already supplied several dozen remote-controlled ground vehicles for the armed forces. As more experimental technologies are introduced onto the battlefield, small-scale engineers like Hnatok are hoping to influence the war's outcome with Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) that carry weapons and explosives or conduct reconnaissance. The impact of combat UGVs from both sides has been extremely limited so far, according to Samuel Bendett, senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security. Hnatok said he does not profit from his vehicles, but asks his military buyers to cover production costs.
