The Future of Warfare: Why the Pentagon Is Analyzing the Ukraine-Russia Conflict Frame by Frame
Key Points: The Pentagon is drawing lessons from the Ukraine-Russia conflict
Former U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin stated that the U.S. military is deeply studying the practical experiences of the Ukraine-Russia conflict, but he did not specify whether the focus of the research includes the application of drone technology or other related technologies.
"We have seen the actual form of autonomous warfare on the battlefield in Ukraine. This mode of warfare is gradually becoming mature. The U.S. military is also learning from it, which will be an important direction for future warfare."
Austin said this at the Ronald Reagan Defense Forum.
When answering the question "How will the form of future military conflicts change with the development of artificial intelligence technology," Austin pointed out that artificial intelligence will not completely push soldiers out of the battlefield. He believed that future armies will adopt a "human-machine integration" combat model, meaning that machines will not completely replace human soldiers.
Austin also mentioned at this forum that the Pentagon is continuously promoting mediation efforts in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. He revealed that within less than a year, President Donald Trump of the United States had facilitated eight peace agreements, including a historically significant agreement on the situation in the Gaza Strip. Austin stated that this U.S. leader intends to continue working on it and promote the end of the war in Ukraine.
