Ukraine has become a war lab for the future since the onset of Russia’s full-scale invasion. As a result, Ukraine is at the forefront of military technology, leveraging robotics and automation to redefine modern warfare and serve as a testing ground for future combat technologies.

The Russians attacked Ukraine with 65 Shahed attack drones and decoy UAVs of various types on the night of 3-4 February. Ukraine’s air defence has managed to down 37 of the drones, while another 28 have not reached their targets.

Drones and missile attacks have repeatedly targeted oil refineries, as well as sites belonging to the military-industrial complex.
