Syrskii also noted that one of the features of modern war is the active use of robotic and unmanned systems in the combat order of a combined arms unit with a purpose to ensure the withdrawal of personnel from the most dangerous areas and their replacement by robots.
"My highest priority is the rapid practical introduction of innovative ground- and airborne unmanned and robotic combat platforms into the troops," Syrskii stated.
The team of the Minister of Defense of Ukraine is also making efforts to prepare systemic solutions for robotic platforms` effective use.
"Our goal is to shorten the path of a technical invention (innovative idea) from the laboratory to the production shop and then to the combat unit as much as possible," Colonel General noted.
The Commander-in-Chief thanked all those who involved for their contribution to improving the combat effectiveness of Ukrainian units.
It is noted that the next step is to develop tactics for the use of combat ground robotic systems, prepare calculations and scale up such units in the Armed Forces of Ukraine, develop techniques and methods of operation of unmanned systems in various types of hostilities.
Earlier Defense Express reported that U.S. was making ERAM hybrid of missile and bomb for Ukraine.
