#Robot Assult

Robots are now a vital part of Ukraine’s military strategy, often stepping in where human lives would be at extreme risk. So when three Ukrainian soldiers were cornered behind Russian lines, it was a ground robot that carried out their rescue.

Ukraine made history in late 2024 with the world’s first-ever assault conducted entirely by ground and aerial drones. The masterminds? Fighters from the 13th “Khartiia” Brigade of Ukraine’s National Guard, who have been holding the line—and pushing it—on the Kharkiv front.

At the close of 2024, the Ukrainian 13th National Guard Brigade "Khartiia" surprised the Russian forces by executing the first-ever combined-arms maneuver conducted solely with drones. This historic attack involved a wide range of systems, from ground drones fitted with machine-gun mounts to FPVs.
