What happened
Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi has erased Russian gains with the help of robots. Ukraine’s military robots are dropping from heavy drones in airborne assaults behind Russian lines as other robots clear mines ahead of advancing Ukrainian infantry.
The wheeled ground robots are supporting Ukraine’s Operation Vivaldi counterattack that has crushed a Russian military pincer movement and liberated dozens of square miles of occupied Ukrainian territory so far. This is not the first time that Ukraine has used heavy drones to deliver robots closer to their intended targets.
