- Ukrainian forces are repurposing assault robots for logistics missions because of supply bot shortages
Ukrainian forces are repurposing ground robots initially designed for assaults to handle critical logistics missions due to a shortage of available UGVs. This shift is part of a larger strategy aiming for robots to manage 100% of battlefield logistics, as front-line supply runs have become deadly amidst constant drone monitoring.
