El Reino Unido trabaja en un enjambre de drones autónomos para Ucrania

El Reino Unido está trabajando con países socios para proporcionar a Ucrania miles de nuevos drones con inteligencia artificial. Los planificadores militares occidentales que desarrollan la tecnología creen que podría permitir a Ucrania abrumar ciertas posiciones rusas con vehículos no tripulados. Aunque estos drones no sustituirán la necesidad de proyectiles de artillería, pueden ayudar a mitigar la escasez y aumentar la dinámica del campo de batalla.


Although such drones will not replace the need for artillery shells, they can help mitigate the shortage and increase the dynamics of the battlefield.

Admiral Rob Bauer, chairman of NATO’s military committee, told Bloomberg that Ukraine’s use of drones “in combination with artificial intelligence” could be “more successful than Russian artillery fire.”

“Nations are looking at swarming, nations are looking at AI to improve relatively simple drones and relatively simple cameras or video systems to become much more connected to software,” Bauer said, adding that there is a “never-ending race” with Russia to develop advanced technology.

Most likely, this referred to the Coalition of Drones initiated by Latvia, the launch of which was reported by Militarnyi on January 18.

The UK, Sweden, and the Netherlands have already joined the Drone Coalition. The purpose of this association is to provide the Armed Forces of Ukraine with a large number of drones for various purposes.

Militarnyi previously reported that Latvia and the UK will start supplying FPV drones to Ukraine within the Drone Coalition.

This is the first project to be launched from the £200 million ($250 million) drone package that the Prime Minister announced in January 2024.
