Russia Equips Shahed Drones with AI to Identify Power Plants in Strong Electronic Warfare

Dec 27, 2024, 03:09 PM

Russia has enhanced its Shahed drones with artificial intelligence, enabling them to autonomously recognize targets, including objects resembling power plants, even in the absence of a network connection. This development, reported by Politico and referenced by Ukraine's Ambassador to the EU, suggests that the drones are now capable of operating effectively under conditions of strong electronic warfare. The introduction of AI into these kamikaze drones could complicate Ukraine's air defense efforts, as the drones can identify and engage targets without relying on external communications.
