Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov pitches a private-sector robot army

Former Ukrainian official Mykhailo Fedorov has introduced a private initiative called Army of Robots to integrate autonomous systems into military operations. This project aims to utilize commercial technology for mine clearance, casualty evacuation, and combat tasks to build on the existing reliance on drones for targeting. By moving these capabilities into the private sector, the initiative seeks to scale the production and deployment of robotics to support frontline efforts.
