Ukraine’s soldiers are giving robots guns and grenade launchers to fire at the Russians in ways even ‘the bravest infantry’ can’t – Ukrainian soldiers are letting robots fire on the Russians, allowing them to stay further from danger.

From the article
Oleksandr Yabchanka, the head of the robotic systems for Ukraine’s Da Vinci Wolves Battalion, told Business Insider that the value in these robots is that they can do the things that even Ukraine’s most courageous soldiers cannot.
Ukraine has [long been pumping out aerial drones](https://www.businessinsider.com/what-is-a-drone?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com), and now an increasing number of companies in Ukraine and in partner nations are working on ground robots that can [evacuate the wounded](https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-uses-ground-robots-rescue-wounded-last-resort-for-now-2025-4?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com), transport and lay mines, [explode in Russian positions](https://www.businessinsider.com/ukraine-ground-robots-hit-russia-more-explosives-flying-drones-2025-5?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com), and even fire weapons at Russian targets. The tech isn’t new to the war, but it’s becoming more prolific.
Used widely, this growing technology could be a significant boost for Ukraine; its population and military remain much smaller than Russia’s, and [it deals with inconsistent support from its international partners](https://www.businessinsider.com/the-west-has-solution-to-produce-weapons-for-ukraine-fast-2024-11?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=yahoo.com) regularly. But Russia is working on the tech, too.
The Ukrainian robots that shoot take different forms: some robots are fixed and look like a gun on stilts (effectively a turret), and then there are others that can move around, resembling a machine gun on top of a wheeled robot.
20 years from now and we’re fighting with mostly robots. Wars will also start more readily and last a lot longer, because human lives are not as much at stake.
There’s fewer of them , they have less of a choice… they can’t exact conscript non-existent citizens. This in a way is a test run for war with technology, robots , drones etc . Every time the world steps up with new technologies, a new wars is had to battle test them … over and over . Monkeys killing monkeys killing monkeys
I believe someone said war is more coward every year, launching missiles from further distance, drones, robots.
At this point just play a vídeogame or something…
