CNN journalists draw attention to the fact that the Russian-Ukrainian war has entered a new phase again, as robots and remotely controlled combat systems are increasingly being involved in combat operations. Interestingly, the occupiers have already managed to christen them “silent death.”
Points of attention
- Operators describe modern combat in Ukraine as resembling a video game but with real-world consequences, emphasizing the efficiency and effectiveness of robotic platforms in coordinated attacks.
- The use of ground robots carrying explosives by the Ukrainian Armed Forces has caused mass panic among Russian invaders, highlighting the strategic advantage and disruptive impact of such tactics.
Robots do the dirty work on the front lines — quietly and unnoticeably
What is important to understand is that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are increasingly conducting their operations without the direct participation of infantry — this makes it possible to save the lives of personnel.
Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters are directing strikes from underground control centers dozens of kilometers from the contact line.
According to journalists, real war has indeed undergone serious transformations: instead of trenches, there are monitor screens, instead of assaults, there are coordinated attacks by robotic platforms.
Operators describe modern combat as a series of remote strikes reminiscent of a video game, but with real-world consequences.
Moreover, it is indicated that Ukrainian ground robots carrying explosives actually caused mass panic among the Russian invaders.
According to journalists, Russian soldiers have already nicknamed such robots "silent death."
What's important to understand is that they can only hear them approaching from 10 meters away — within the radius of the explosion.
The "NC13" unit of the Third Assault Brigade calculated the effectiveness of the new tactic over 164 assaults and concluded that 2,300 soldiers would have been needed to achieve the same result.
