UK Aids Ukraine with AI-Powered Drones

Published on 6.6.25

  The UK has pledged to deliver 100,000 drones to Ukraine by April 2026 as part of its efforts to support Ukraine's defense against Russia's attack. This is a tenfold increase from previous supplies, demonstrating the growing importance of drone technology in modern warfare. The Ukrainian Security Service claims to have destroyed or damaged 41 Russian aircraft using AI-guided drones, employing this technology to strike strategic bombers like the A-50 and Tu-95 from thousands of kilometers away. In addition to drone deliveries, the UK has provided training for over 55,000 Ukrainian military personnel since 2022, including basic combat training. The government plans to spend an additional £2 billion on drones and autonomous systems, building on the £4 billion allocated in the Strategic Defense Review. The use of AI in drone technology has also been demonstrated by footage showing trucks carrying prefabricated structures with hidden drones near Russian air bases. These drones employed artificial intelligence to identify and strike targets after communication links were severed, highlighting the potential for AI to revolutionize modern warfare.
