Ukraine's ground drones complete over 30,000 missions in record month for robot warfare

In October, Ukraine's unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) completed a record 31,398 missions, significantly increasing from earlier months. This surge reflects the transition of UGVs from experimental to essential battlefield assets. The rise in missions is attributed to the saturation of Russian drones, which limits traditional logistics operations. Ukraine has heavily invested in UGVs over the past two years, integrating them into nearly every brigade. While most missions involve logistics, UGVs also perform various tasks including strikes and reconnaissance. Each mission is recorded in the Delta software, earning e-points for equipment purchases.
