Artificial Intelligence Raises Ukrainian Drone Kill Rates to 80%


Ukraine has been called the “test lab for the future of war” nowhere more so than in the development of the technology and military use of drones, with a million UAVs to be fielded this year.

In a recent article for the Henry Jackson Society, an extract of which was published by Kyiv Post on Sunday Oct. 13, David Kirichenko drew attention to the increasingly significant role Artificial Intelligence(AI) is playing on the battlefield in the war in Ukraine particularly in enhancing the ability of drones to target the enemy. The drone is said to be able to independently identify personnel, tanks, armored vehicles among other targets and feed that information to its command post to select when to hit the enemy and with which weapons. However, with the advent of Palantir’s AI, which according to the Forces News report is used to power nearly all of Ukraine's drones used for artillery targeting, this can be raised to nearer 80 percent.
