- Ground drones in Ukraine are increasingly used to gain an edge on the battlefield. Ukraine's armed forces are deploying ground drones to enhance their warfare capabilities. These unmanned vehicles are used for various military operations, including reconnaissance, direct attacks, mine-laying, ammunition delivery, and medical evacuations.
A combat ground drone from Ukraine's Fifth Brigade is showcased maneuvering around destroyed armored vehicles and launching attacks on Russia's positions.
In a workshop run by Ukrainian specialists, engineers continuously improve these unmanned vehicles, addressing mobility and power issues. The rapid advancement of drone warfare suggests that in the next six to twelve months, the landscape of military technology could change dramatically, making it a race to see which side adapts faster.

Soldiers of the 1st Tank Battalion of the 5th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade say that the vehicle is highly maneuverable, which, in modern warfare, allows for a quicker retreat from the battlefield—especially when drones dominate the sky. Most of the time, the troops engage the enemy using direct fire—when the opponent is practically right in front of the tank. This tactic helps provide cover for infantry and enables precise strikes against both assault groups and armored vehicles.
