A Ukrainian startup has developed AI-powered drones equipped with a feature that can detect specific elements for identifying friend or foe, enabling the drones to lock targets and potentially carry out attacks autonomously. However, the decision to fire is still required to be manually initiated by humans. This technology offers advantages in reconnaissance and intelligence gathering, boasting higher efficiency compared to humans. While the drones demonstrate advanced AI capabilities similar to those in the US, ethical and safety considerations prompt manual control over initiating attacks. Ukraine is actively advancing its military technology, becoming the world's first country to establish a dedicated military branch specializing in drone warfare.
