Ukraine deploys combat robots via aerial carriers and sea drones
Ukraine is expanding battlefield robotics by using aerial carrier drones to drop ground robots and by deploying drone boats that can deliver armed ground units, including a hexacopter carrying a ground robot during operations around Kinburn Spit. The approach helps robots bypass tough terrain and Russian defenses while reducing risk to soldiers, reflecting ongoing innovation in drone-enabled warfare and drawing interest from the U.S. in similar capabilities.
