Ukraine's Ex-Defense Minister Launches 'Army of Robots' Project
Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of the "Army of Robots" project to develop and scale robotic technologies for warfare. He recalled the 2022 launch of the "Army of Drones," noting that drones now account for over 95% of strikes in Ukraine, with more than 700 UAV manufacturers operating in the country.
Fedorov stated the initiative will involve investing in defense tech companies, launching proprietary technological projects, establishing R&D, testing solutions with the military, and rapidly scaling effective battlefield technologies. The announcement also noted that Russia has learned to quickly copy and scale military technologies, emphasizing the need for Ukraine to continuously develop the next technological cycle ahead of the enemy.
