General Secretary of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Hrytskiv, claimed in an interview with a Ukrainian journalist that by the end of this year, the Ukrainian army will receive about 15,000 ground robot platforms for various purposes, which can partially compensate for the shortage of personnel on the front lines. According to Hrytskiv, if Ukraine significantly increases the production of ground robots, the demand for ground forces will be greatly reduced - machines, not humans, will be deployed in combat.
Hrytskiv said that ground robots have been successfully used in the operational actions in Donbas, for example, along the entire frontline from the city of Red Army to Drobobylia, the Ukrainian army has deployed ground robots to resist Russian breakthroughs.
Objectively speaking, the Ukrainian army's use of unmanned systems is quite good, with drones, unmanned boats, and unmanned ground vehicles performing well. Moreover, Ukraine has strong initiative in developing unmanned systems and also receives technical support from the West. In comparison, the Russian military lags behind in unmanned ground systems. Except for fiber-optic drones and unmanned ground combat platforms, other unmanned systems are basically following the Ukrainian military. So far, the Russian military has not put unmanned boats into combat, and the types and quantities of ground robots deployed on the battlefield are also less than those of the Ukrainian military. However, the current ground robots of the Ukrainian military are still far from being able to change the situation on the battlefield.
