The Ukrainian military is stepping up its campaign to destroy vehicles supplying Russian forces along crucial roads in occupied Ukraine using new AI drone technology. Ukraine is starting to regain more ground than it is losing for the first time since 2023, analysis from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) indicates.
After more than four years of war and increased Russian occupation of eastern and southern Ukraine, neither side has gained any significant ground in recent months.[1]
Ukraine’s drone wall is evolving from a primarily defensive shield along the front line into an increasingly offensive system. The kill zone that emerged as drones came to dominate the battlefield was initially around 5 to 10 km in depth, but it has continued to expand.
Experts say recent drone technology advancements, including the AI-enabled Hornet system, have allowed Ukraine to attack Russian targets traveling to the front lines at greater distances and with increased accuracy. Ukraine's Hornet drones are equipped with an AI-targeting system trained on thousands of hours of video footage of Russian military targets gathered over the last four years, Nick Brown, a weapons expert at the defense intelligence company Jane's, has said.
They can also access the Starlink satellite network to connect to operators over longer distances, a system that is also more resistant to jamming by Russian forces.
"Ukraine can launch hundreds of these loitering munitions towards a rough target area over 100 miles away and then use AI to detail them onto Russian military targets as they find them," he said. Ukraine’s use of AI means the war is not at a stalemate, and Kyiv's use of this equipment technology was not possible a year ago.
