The first technological solutions of the Army of Robots should be inexpensive and perform the most dangerous tasks on the front instead of soldiers.

Our main goal is to preserve life. A person should not take risks where a machine can do the job.

In the first stage it will not be a classic humanoid, but a simpler humanoid-like robot that can be produced and scaled quickly.

It should perform some of an infantryman's tasks directly on the battlefield.

Today such platforms cost on average $40–70 thousand. For mass use in war we need them to be much cheaper — a target of $10–20 thousand per unit. The potential requirement is tens of thousands of such machines.

We are already looking at teams with ready MVPs and designing solutions. Next — prototypes, simulations, model training, and finding the right combination of hardware and software.

The Army of Robots is not a single product. We are building an ecosystem that will bring together companies, startups, engineers, R&D, and capital around robotization of the front. Our task is to move as quickly as possible from prototype to mass product.

Перші технологічні рішення Армії роботів мають коштувати дешево й виконувати замість військових найнебезпечніші завдання на фронті.

Наша головна мета — зберігати життя. Людина не повинна ризикувати там, де роботу може виконати машина.

На першому етапі це буде не класичний гуманоїд, а простіший гуманоїдоподібний робот, якого можна швидко виробляти й масштабувати.

Він має виконувати частину завдань піхотинця безпосередньо на полі бою.

Сьогодні такі платформи коштують у середньому $40–70 тисяч. Для масового застосування на війні нам потрібно значно дешевше — орієнтир $10–20 тисяч за одиницю. Потенційна потреба — десятки тисяч таких машин.

Уже дивимося на команди з готовими MVP та проєктуємо рішення. Далі — прототипи, симуляції, навчання моделей і пошук правильної комбінації hardware та software.

Армія роботів — це не один продукт. Ми будуємо екосистему, яка обʼєднає компанії, стартапи, інженерів, R&D та капітал навколо роботизації фронту. Наше завдання — максимально швидко пройти шлях від прототипу до масового продукту.

At the beginning of summer, while still serving as defense minister, I went to Sumy. I wanted to personally look into the air defense problems and find solutions to protect people. A few days earlier the enemy had struck residential buildings with KABs. People died. My team and I went to the site of the tragedy to lay flowers. There, by the destroyed building, I met Yevhen. I still remember the pain in his eyes. Yevhen is a policeman who took part in the Kursk operation. On the day of the traged...

The drone war is a race of technological cycles. The one who reacts faster to changes on the front wins. What works today the enemy may learn to jam, intercept, or destroy tomorrow. That’s why our bet is on speed. We adapt developments to the real requests of brigades and scale up serial production. I recently visited the production facilities of a group of Ukrainian defense tech companies that manufacture drones, ground robots, and other means for the front. I saw the whole cycle — from prepari...

I am confident that universities must become the heart of military technology development in Ukraine I recently met with students of the Ukrainian Catholic University. Many of them are already working on robotics, creating prototypes and their own products. Ukraine has become one of the world’s centers for drone production. The next major stage is total robotization. We have already launched the Army of Robots project and will actively move toward fully replacing people with robots on the most d...

The new interceptor is already shooting down jet Shaheds. First combat results in Kyiv — two Geran-5 shot down. Together with Pavlo Yelizarov, military personnel, and engineers we created a new drone interceptor. From the start of development to the first confirmed shootdowns — only a month. Combat trials were conducted by crews of Lasar’s Group. In a few days the military shot down two Russian jet drones Geran-5 that were flying to Kyiv. The video shows the first confirmed shootdowns by the new...
