Ukraine is shifting frontline duties from soldiers to land drones as new ground-based systems take on a larger share of operations in the war. Npr reported on June 10, 2026, that these drones are playing a key role on the battlefield. Ukraine relies on robotic warfare to punch above its weight on the battlefield.
The shift moves some tasks previously handled by troops to unmanned ground vehicles. Npr broadcast the report on its All Things Considered program the same day.
