30% of Ukraine Infantry Can Be Replaced By Ground Robots This Year

Ground robots of various types replace as many as 30% of Ukrainian infantry this year and may be able to increase that number to 80% in the future. 

The Ukrainians have already used such robotic systems to accomplish tasks as diverse as evacuating wounded, bringing up supplies, defending static strong points or trenches, taking prisoners and even attacking Russian positions. JL

Anatoly Buryak reports in Espreso Global:

Ground -based robotic systems (GROS) can replace a third of the infantry of the Ukrainian Defense Forces on the front line.  "If we go in the direction of technological innovation, then this year, I am convinced, we can remove up to 30% of infantrymen behind the LBZ, and in the near future - up to 80%," said Andriy Biletsky, Commander of Ukraine's 3rd Corps. According to him, under such conditions, the infantry will become an "elite specialized force" to perform tasks that the NRC cannot handle.

This was stated by the commander of the 3rd Army Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Brigadier General Andriy Biletsky, in an interview with TSN.

In the future, this figure could reach 80%, the general emphasized. 

"If we go in the direction of technological innovation, then this year, I am convinced, we can remove up to 30% of infantrymen behind the LBZ, and in the near future - up to 80%," Biletsky assured.

According to him, under such conditions, the infantry will become an "elite specialized force" to perform tasks that the NRC cannot handle.
