Ukraine, for the first time in the world, has begun using artificial intelligence technology to coordinate the actions of a swarm of drones on the battlefield. According to The Wall Street Journal, this innovation is considered one of the most important signs of the future of military conflicts.
Experts note that this technology represents a new stage in the development of drone warfare. Because it allows for the simultaneous deployment of dozens, even thousands, of unmanned aerial vehicles against enemy defenses. This will pave the way for large-scale operations that will cover not only individual facilities, but also entire cities.
Senior officers serving in the Ukrainian army, as well as representatives of a software development company, stated that mass drone attacks were carried out at the front for most of last year. Although no official information was previously released, analysts consider this to be the first example of the regular use of a swarm of drones in modern warfare.
Software created by a startup called Swarmer makes the galani even more efficient. It determines which drone will attack first, and if one drone runs out of battery, the others will immediately adapt and take on the task. The head of the company, Sergey Kuprienko, commented on this:
"You will only show the target, and the rest will be done by the drones themselves." They act cooperatively and quickly adapt to the situation.
Swarmer technology was previously used by Ukrainian forces to deploy mines and was subsequently actively used to strike enemy equipment and Russian infrastructure. In normal cases, it is used with three drones, and sometimes up to eight. It was also noted that tests were conducted with 25 drones.
According to reports, countries such as the USA, China, France, Russia, and South Korea are also working on developing gala technology. However, analysts said they were previously unaware that the operations in Ukraine were being used on the regular battlefield. It is worth noting that the US has been researching this system since at least 2016, when it launched and tested more than a hundred small drones from three fighter jets.
