One of the features of modern warfare is the active use of robotic and unmanned systems in combat, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrsky said.

"The other day I worked at one of the training centers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, where testing (research tests) of various forms of integrated use of ground and air robotic and unmanned systems in real combat conditions are continuing. This is a very important project, and we have the first successes in its implementation," he said on the Telegram channel on Friday evening.

He noted that now his highest priority is the rapid practical implementation of innovative unmanned combat and robotic ground-based and air-based platforms into the troops.

He recalled that one of the features of modern warfare is the active use of robotic and unmanned systems in combat, and noted that they can be used to ensure the withdrawal of personnel from the most dangerous areas and replace them with robots.

"Together with the team of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine, we are making every effort to prepare system solutions for the effective use of a wide range of robotic platforms," the Commander-in-chief stressed.

Syrsky explained that now the main goal is to shorten as much as possible the path that a technical invention (innovative idea) of scientists takes from the laboratory to the production workshop and then to the combat unit.

"The next step is to work out tactics for the use of combat ground-based robotic systems, prepare calculations and scale units in combat of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, work out techniques and methods of action of unmanned systems in various types of combat," he added.
