Naval drones have afflicted Russia\u2019s fleet in the Black Sea \u2014 which has needed to move farther east after having around 20 ships sunk or damaged. And aerial drones have become crucial for targeting and attacks on the front lines, where some <a href=\"https:\/\/rusi.org\/news-and-comment\/in-the-news\/russia-and-ukraine-are-filling-sky-drones\" target=\"_blank\">10,000 are lost every month. <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link smg-interstitial-link--fallback wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/cyber\/2024\/07\/09\/air-force-space-force-on-track-for-bring-your-own-device-enrollment\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__fallback-link\">Air Force, Space Force on track for Bring-Your-Own-Device enrollment<\/a><\/aside>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dressed in his usual black polo and fatigue-style pants, Kamyshin spoke at an event to promote Ukraine\u2019s state-owned defense industry: Ukroboronprom. His comments followed a presentation on what Kyiv could produce on its own and where it needs help from foreign governments, defense companies and venture capitalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The increase in ground robotics Kamyshin predicted will come from manufacturers inside Ukraine, a sprawling network of volunteer, commercial and state-backed efforts. It also includes American companies partnering with Ukrainian firms to help improve their own kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Adam Bry, head of the drone maker Skydio, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/unmanned\/2024\/06\/27\/dronemaker-skydio-hiring-team-in-ukraine-amid-strategy-shift\/\" target=\"_blank\">told Defense News in an interview last month<\/a> that Ukrainian drone builders are the most advanced in the world. The land-based drones will perform a variety of missions, Kamyshin said, including demining, medical evacuation and combat itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1004\" height=\"1004\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-at-09.54.42.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118775\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-at-09.54.42.png.png 1004w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-at-09.54.42.png.png?resize=150,150 150w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-at-09.54.42.png.png?resize=300,300 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/Screenshot-2024-05-21-at-09.54.42.png.png?resize=768,768 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1004px) 100vw, 1004px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This photo, circulated on Russian Telegram channels in May, purports to show a Ukraine unmanned ground vehicle captured by Russian forces. (Telegram)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Their main use, though, will be lightening some of the burden on Ukrainian soldiers fighting near the 600-mile front line. Ukraine lowered its eligible draft age from 27 to 25 earlier this year to help with some of its personnel shortages while fighting a much larger neighbor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe main point [is that] we try to get our people back from the front line,\u201d Kamyshin said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, he said Ukraine\u2019s aerial drones were already using artificial intelligence to target Russian positions and that the use of such software would expand in the coming year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Pentagon itself is pushing to use more autonomous as it faces a size disadvantage of its own: against China in the Indo-Pacific. In the last several years, the U.S. government has reviewed its policies on artificial intelligence and warfare, one part of the Replicator initiative \u2014 an effort to rush more drones to military leaders in the Pacific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe do our best to keep in mind all those ethical things, but at this point we have to work out a solution that will get more Russians out of my country,\u201d Kamyshin said. \u201cThat\u2019s the ethical dilemma we have now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drones are one of Ukraine\u2019s many equipment needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The country is still trying to source more artillery shells after a yearslong ramp up in the west. To do so, Kamyshin said, it will need two things: explosive components like TNT and money. The U.S. State Department, along with other countries, announced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2024\/05\/16\/us-announces-2-billion-to-help-ukraine-make-its-own-weapons\/\" target=\"_blank\">$2 billion in Foreign Military Financing for Ukraine\u2019s defense industry earlier this year.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The money will help mature Ukraine\u2019s domestic production in the long-term, but Kamyshin said it wasn\u2019t enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are looking for another $10 [billion] to $15 billion,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kyiv&#8217;s head of strategic industries said that the push for ground robotics was part of a bigger bet on &#8220;defense
