Ukraine has begun scaling up the use of robotic systems in assaults on Russian positions, transitioning from experimental use to mass implementation.

According to Alexander, call sign "Elektrik," commander of the ground robotic systems company in the 93rd Brigade, unmanned assaults have been practiced for about two years but remained largely unnoticed until recently.

He explained that the shift toward robotic warfare is being driven by necessity, especially due to manpower shortages. Like the widespread adoption of FPV drones, ground drones are now gaining attention and being used more frequently on the battlefield.

A recent example occurred on July 9, when the Third Assault Brigade conducted a fully robotic attack in the Kharkiv region. The operation, carried out without infantry or casualties, used drones and ground robots to strike enemy positions, ultimately forcing Russian soldiers to surrender.

Elektrik noted that ground drones had been in limited use since the ATO era, but only now are they being mass-produced and actively promoted. Ukraine’s growing reliance on such technology marks a new phase in modern warfare.
