Ukrainian and Russian forces are fighting conventional frontline battles, but the first major war in Internet-era Europe has also sparked a technological battle that Kyiv thinks it can win.
The Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine, Mikhail Fedorov, in an interview with the Associated Press (AP) stressed that he is sure that his country has more motivation and ability to innovate than Russia. And he stressed that unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), electronic warfare, satellite communications and other technologies were a key part of the war with Russia that began more than a year ago.
“Technology allows traditional and modern artillery to be more accurate and help save the lives of our soldiers,” he stressed.
“When we look at ourselves, we can make better decisions about managing our troops,” he added.
The Ukrainian minister acknowledged that Russia is also aware of the importance of technology on the battlefield and is actively developing and improving its own. “Every day, new drones appear on the battlefield from our side and from the Russian side. We see what types of drones they have. We remove, disassemble and study, ”Fyodorov emphasized. *FROM LUSA
