Ukrainian forces have carried out their first front line ground attack using only unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) and first-person view (FPV) drones without relying on infantry, it has been reported.
The head of a Ukrainian brigade said that the attack on an unspecified date had destroyed Russian positions near Lyptsi, a village in the Kharkiv region.
Drones on the battlefield will continue to play an increasingly important role for Ukrainian forces to offset troop shortages and the prospect of dwindling foreign military aid in 2025.
Russian forces are maintaining battlefield momentum along the front having made gains in the Donetsk region where they are bearing down upon the logistics hub of Pokrovsk. It means that technological innovation will become even more critical for Ukraine to fight Russian aggression.
