Ukraine could carry out more drone attacks on Russian warships, Ukraine’s digital transformation minister, who has played a key role in developing the country’s drone industry, told Reuters after a series of maritime attacks.
“There will be more drones, more attacks, and fewer Russian ships. That’s for sure,” Mikhail Fedorov said in an interview on Friday, answering a question about the recent attacks near Crimea.
This week, Ukraine carried out several attacks using naval drones and missiles against the Russian navy in the Black Sea and around the Crimean Peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014.
Russia has acknowledged a Ukrainian missile attack that damaged a warship and a submarine this week and says it has deterred all naval drone attacks, according to Reuters.
According to Fedorov, Ukraine is testing artificial intelligence (AI) systems that can detect targets several kilometers away and guide them towards them, even if external communications are interrupted by electronic warfare measures.
“Right now everything is in the testing stage, but some of the drones we buy use artificial intelligence to recognize targets. In the forest, they can detect a target and recognize whether it is a person, a tank or a specific machine. These technologies are under development. actively used.”
