A new drone revolution is unfolding in Ukraine — but this time, it’s happening on the ground. Unmanned ground vehicles are being deployed on a larger scale than ever before. These ground drones deliver supplies to soldiers at front-line positions, evacuate the wounded, and even take part in assaults against the invading Russian forces. The Kyiv Independent spent a day with the 20th Separate UAV Regiment, also known as K-2, which specializes in ground robots, in northern Donetsk Oblast. We also spoke with the regiment’s commander, Kyrylo Veres, about how these machines could shape the next phase of warfare in Ukraine, helping to reduce the risk to soldiers amid a growing manpower shortage.
