Ukrainian drones with AI make war more deadly: how they will increase the loss of Russian

Ukrainian AI will not aim at people at all. His task is to direct the drone to the target chosen if the signal with the operator has been lost. Quadcopters working with artificial intelligence can help the Ukrainian military withstand the invasion of the Russian army. According to the analyst of The Daily Beast, such drones will be deprived of the main vulnerability that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are still actively used.

After the Armed Forces began to actively use drones filled with explosives, the Russians used the remedies of radio electronic struggle (HRB) throughout the front. These "muffins" can block signals that bind FPVroe with operators. When the drone loses communication, it can deviate from the course and miss, without attacking the target, such as a tank.

"The connection between UAV and the operator is a serious vulnerability as it can be influenced by the remedy of the Reb," - commented Samuel Bendett, a senior researcher at the Center for Strategic and International Studies in Washington. Realizing this, Ukrainian drone developers are working on the introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) functions.

It will work as follows: if the obstacles are too intense and the drone will lose the command signal, the AI ​​will be able to take over the control instead of the operator and direct the device to the target by means of "machine vision". The Ukrainian company Twist Robotics has already tested the AI ​​algorithm of drone targeting. "After capturing the target, the drone is guided by this system," said Rostislav Olenchin, co -founder of Twist Robotics, The Washington Post.

At the beginning of the aggressive invasion of Russia, Ukraine had a great advantage over the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, when the case concerned robotics, as the developers had access to the advanced technologies of the US and the EU. The Ukrainians had more drones, and they were better than in Russia. In addition, the Armed Forces used them more reasonably.

For example, Robert Brody, commander of the Magyara Birds Group, which defends the Kherson region, stated that since mid-October 2023, his group has struck 450 Russian vehicles and completely destroyed 153. Since 2024, the number of FPV-ardes used has increased dramatically and has increased dramatically, and Russia has begun to look for remedies in its arsenal.

The choice came on RP-377-a backbone radio deaf, which creates a noise of hundreds of watts at the most popular frequencies for radio communication. The RP-377 was developed several years ago to protect troops from roadside bombs with radiospus mechanism. "In recent months, devices have appeared on Russian tanks, APC and even artillery all over the front line. Generation of hundreds of watts of energy, they can create around the military equipment" Bubble of Security ", protecting from drones.

At the same time, by military standards, they cost Inexpensively - about $ 10 thousand per unit, "the material reads. "I saw spectrograms," the Ukrainian drone expert Sergey Beskrestnov wrote in Telegram, analyzing RP-377. - "Obstacles are very high quality. " Fortunately, for Ukrainians, according to Beskrest, the RP-377 had a range of action-only a few tens of feet (foot is 30. 5 cm-ed. ).

The most experienced Ukrainian operators can control shock drones despite obstacles, aiming as accurately as possible. When the drones got into the radio interruption zone, it was no longer meaningful to adjust the course, because Kamikadze still hit the target or at least affected it. These successes of the Armed Forces did not go unnoticed, and soon on Russian cars began to place devices called "waleuz". If you believe the Russian developers, "Volnorez" works up to 800 m.

This is enough for it if it stifles the approaching FPV-Dron, the vehicle with "wave" was time to evade the now uncontrolled drone . "Some operator skills are probably not enough for Ukrainian forces to retain their advantage in the field of drones, since the muffle in the Armed Forces becomes more and more. ", - the media writes.

Here's how the AI ​​can help drones: when the pilot directs his FPV-Dron to the target, a machine algorithm that "looks" through the front video camera, quickly recognizes the target in size, shape, color and even in infrared heat signature. Then if the drone encounters obstacles and lose radios with the operator, the AI ​​is guaranteed to bring it to the target.

"Proponents of the development of Shi-technologies are overestimating the capabilities of the neurotransities by ignoring their limited," said The Daily Beast Karlo Kopp, analyst at the Air Power Australia Center, hinting at not being afraid of "Air Rebellion". Ukrainian developers do not plan to create AI, which will determine which of the millions of people can be a fighter and who is civil, as the Israelites do with their Shi-algorithms.

No, Ukrainian developers have instructed their AI a much narrower task: to take a target that has already been chosen and identified by a person, and to remember what they look like. This reflects the central principle of the Ukrainian philosophy of drones, said Beskrestnov in a recent video: "Our military is not ready to fully give artificial intelligence control over shooting with weapons. " Ukraine is actively using FPV-pans because they are cheap.

If every new drone imported or harvested by Ukrainians will be sent to a workshop for installing artificial intelligence tools, the cost of devices can increase significantly. "But if they had a choice: to pay more for their drones or to watch their drones obsolete, it is obvious that Ukrainians will choose. Making a choice between an effort with AI, or a loss of preference in the battlefield, Ukrainians will choose AI," - - - - The authors of the material summarize.

Earlier, we wrote that Rogozin complained about Ukrainian FPV-drones and threatened with the shooting of "porcupines" in the Russian Federation. A large number of Ukrainian drones complicated the life of the Russian military at the front. The former head of Roscosmos Dmitry Rogozin stated that the Russian Federation should "respond" to this with the abolition of bureaucratic procedures and "sanctions" for citizens who, on online platforms, overstate prices for unmanned devices.
