The Russia-Ukraine conflict has entered its third year. One of the peculiarities of this war is the use of a large number of UAVs, which became a new type on the battlefield **. According to reports, a Russian company recently announced the development of an automated drone defense system, the emergence of which will play an important role in the war.
According to RIA Novosti 26**, this system can monitor, detect and suppress the actions of drones. Using artificial intelligence technology, the system is able to operate in a fully automated state. It can detect UAVs at a range of about 5 km and suppress the UAV with signals at a range of 2 km. Despite the harsh outdoor climate, with temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius and high wind speeds, the system was able to operate normally, demonstrating its stability and reliability.
At the same time, the Ukrainian side is also increasing the use of drones. A passage released by the United States shows a Ukrainian army group using drones to strike Russian forces in the Kherson region. Although some drones were intercepted by the Russian army, the Ukrainian army is still insisting on using drones to attack.
The Russia-Ukraine conflict has been going on for more than two years, and drones are being used more frequently on the battlefield. A spokesman for the Ukrainian Air Force said that since the escalation of the crisis in Ukraine on February 24, 2022, Russia has fired more than 8,000 missiles and 4,630 drones at Ukrainian targets, while Ukrainian air defense forces have successfully shot down 3,605 drones. According to data released by Russia, since February 24, 2022, the Russian military has shot down 13,454 drones of the Ukrainian army.
Ukraine** said it plans to achieve its goal of producing 1 million drones per year. And Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu said that the daily production of Russian drones has reached thousands.
This drone war has become a distinctive feature of the Russia-Ukraine conflict. The growing competition in technology and strategy suggests that the conflict is likely to continue. With the continuous advancement of technology and the upgrading of strategy, the war situation between Russia and Ukraine is still full of challenges and uncertainties. It's a battle that is both a war and a race to technology, and it's not yet clear who will win, but the challenge continues.
