Ukraine claims to have achieved a milestone in the robotic war with An assault on Russian positions and prisoners executed exclusively with unmanned systems. In the operation, an undetermined number of enemy soldiers were captured that They surrendered to the machines and were driven and guarded by these until you reach the Ukrainian lines. This attack, which took place in the region of Járkoveast of Ukraine, it is a new step forward in the integration of remote operated systems in the fight in battle.
The operation was executed by the 3rd separate assault brigadespecifically for its experimental unit Deus Ex Machina of drones. According to a statement released by the Brigade on Telegram, the attack combined Kamikaze FPV drones (of first person vision) with Terrestrial Robotics Complexes (GRC) to penetrate and neutralize Russian fortified positions that had previously resisted attacks with human personnel.
‘For the first time in history: the occupants chapted before the land robots of the 3rd Brigade! Without infantry and without casualties’says the brigade.
The assault began with a Terrestrial Kamikaze Robot who headed against a Russian defensive bunker. The detonation destroyed fortificationwhich led the remaining Russian soldiers to surrender when another robot approached his position.
‘When the next robot approached the destroyed bunker, The enemy, to avoid flying through the air, announced his surrender ‘explains the Brigade on Telegram.

‘This is the first confirmed and successful assault in the modern war carried exclusively by unmanned platforms’affirms the statement, which highlights the strategic relevance of achievement.
Details that positions that had resisted twice to units of Ukrainian soldiers were recovered by the robots of the ‘triple’ group -Name in the Brigade code- thanks to a planned assault on the millimeter.
There was no physical presence of Ukrainian troops During the direct attack, which illustrates the growing dependence on unmanned systems in combat areas. ‘The robots fight and you control’concludes the brigade in the statement.
