The President of Ukraine signed a decree on the creation of a new type of troops within the Armed Forces of Ukraine, namely the Unmanned Systems Forces.
Head of the Center for Military Legal Research Alexander Musienko explained what opportunities this gives Ukraine on the battlefield.
Unmanned systems forces
— This is extremely important because we all understand perfectly well, and I have spoken more than once about the role of unmanned and robotic systems, how the battlefield is being transformed. These are absolutely correct approaches. We must control the battlefield, actually introduce systems that will be unmanned not only in the air, but also on ground and surface. This is a whole complex.
A military expert explained that Ukraine must come to a point when operators and commanders will sit in more or less protected places, and unmanned and robotic systems will operate on the battlefield.
Now watching
— And this is very important because drones now play an extremely important role in the air. We need to outnumber the enemy, but we need to make up for the ground component. In Marine — we have also advanced. But the ground component is just as important to eliminate human involvement as much as possible where possible, where a drone and robotic system can replace. This is an extremely comprehensive technology solution, — he thinks.
Alexander Musienko explained that a certain transformation is currently taking place in Ukraine — transition of the army to the systems of the future that will define the battlefield.
— And wars will be fought with the help of robotic systems — cyborgs. We have seen this in science fiction films, but this is something that comes to life in reality. But before this, there is still a lot of work and a lot of work to be done systematically. We need to be the first in this fight, then the enemy will simply lag behind and have no chance. This is what you need to understand, — the analyst emphasized.
