Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov announced that Ukraine will be able to carry out more attacks on Russian ships.
“There will be more drones, more attacks, fewer Russian ships. That’s for sure,” Fedorov told Reuters when asked about the recent explosions near Crimea.
According to him, in 2023, the production of drones in Ukraine will increase more than 100 times compared to last year. According to the minister, by the end of this year, compared to the previous year, it will increase approximately 120-140 times.
He also said that Ukraine is testing artificial intelligence systems that can detect targets at a distance of several kilometers and direct drones to them, even if external communication is disrupted by means of electronic warfare.
“We need AI, for example, target-finding technology, similar to how the Lancet (Russian drone) works, so that the target can be found in WB conditions and destroyed. It’s all in the testing phase at this point, but some of the drones we buy use AI for target recognition. In the forest, it can detect a target and recognize whether it is a person, a tank or a certain machine. These technologies are actively used,” said Fedorov.
