Ukraine said it forced Russian soldiers to surrender and captured their position using only aerial drones and ground robots, no infantry, in a first for the war.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday said that "for the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position was taken exclusively by unmanned platforms — ground systems and drones. "
The operation, which saw the Russians surrender, was executed "without losses on our side," he said.
Ukraine, with a much smaller population than Russia and often struggling with shortages of Western-provided weaponry, has turned to aerial drones and ground robots to offset manpower and equipment gaps with domestically produced systems.
