Ukraine said it took a Russian position using just drones and ground robots.

Zelenskyy said it was a wartime first, and no Ukrainian infantry was involved.

He said robots have done over 22,000 missions in three months, keeping many soldiers from harm.

Maybe the Ukrainian ones, ours sit in an air conditioned room in the Vegas desert then go to the strip club after their shift

Different types of drones. Ukraine uses mostly fiber wire drones (earlier WiFi) due to jamming. High altitude drones use some sat links.

That works for expensive drones, but not so much for the tiny ones that are ubiquitous on front lines.
