>Ukraine’s military will be deploying robots to fight against Russia within the next year, part of a strategy to deal with a shortage of readily available human combat troops, the country’s defense industry czar said.
>Ukraine’s strategic industries minister, Oleksandr Kamyshin, was in Washington last week to help the country’s state defense company open an office in the United States and to work on a number of joint ventures, including a [deal](https://breakingdefense.com/2024/07/northrop-grumman-finalizes-deal-to-coproduce-ammo-in-ukraine/) with Northrop Grumman to produce medium-caliber ammunition in Ukraine.
>“This year will be the year of land systems as well, unmanned land systems,” Kamyshin said at the opening of the defense office. “We’ll see more of them on the front line. That’s one of the game-changers we expect in the nearest 12 months.”
>The point, Kamyshin said, is to get more troops off the front lines. “That’s the main philosophy,” he said. “We count people, and we want our people to be as far from the front line as we can.”

This is like the photos from WW1 where we couldn’t figure out what battle tanks should look like or how they would best function. Then 30 years later we perfected it.
These robots are the future, can’t wait until we figure out their optimal form and function.
