AI is changing Russia's drone war on Ukrainian cities, deputy air defense commander says
A deputy commander of Ukraine's air defense says artificial intelligence is changing how Russia's drones attack Ukrainian cities. Jet-powered Geran-4 drones reportedly carry machine vision that lets them recognize and track targets.
Artificial intelligence is changing the nature of Russia's drone attacks on Ukrainian cities, according to a deputy commander of Ukraine's air defense, as reported by Euromaidan Press.
He said Russia's jet-powered Geran-4 drones are equipped with machine vision. This technology allows the unmanned aircraft to recognize targets and track them.
The information available from the source is limited, so it gives no further figures on how many of these drones are used, how widely they are deployed or which specific attacks are involved. The main disclosed fact is that the Geran-4 is not merely a pre-programmed aircraft: it can perceive its surroundings and respond to them.
