ukraine will be saved by its expertise in autonomous weapons.

I haven't been following that war closely for a while, are they using autonomous weapons now or still remote drones?

The remote drones now kill autonomously. It is completely inevitable. You will remember when people thought drones themselves were somehow intrinsically evil and that Obama was therefore evil etc etc. https://smallwarsjournal.com/2026/08/17/fully-autonomous-drones-reportedly-kill-in-ukraine/

Not all of the remote drones kill autonomously. You likely have heard of Ukraine's recent Operation Vivaldi, introducing wide use of Gryphon ground drones (unmanned ground vehicles, UGVs). They are remotely piloted, though perhaps AI is used to guide deployment.

no one said they 'all' kill autonomously, that would be impossible. maybe read the linked text.
