A Ukrainian drone pilot has told how he used artificial intelligence to destroy a high-value Russian target
The pilot, known as Mex, said the 20km attack on what appeared to be a Russian tank would have been impossible without the help of an artificial intelligence-assisted targeting system.
" Without additional instructions, we couldn't hit him ," the 31-year-old from Ukraine's 58th Separate Rifle Brigade told Reuters.
While drone technology has evolved rapidly during the nearly four-year war after Russia invaded Ukraine, both countries have deployed signal-jamming devices on the front lines to disrupt communication between drones and their pilots.
Such drones lock onto the image of a target seen through their onboard camera and can continue to fly towards it autonomously, even after the pilot loses contact with the drone.
" This guidance system, in addition to tracking [the target], also has its own memory bank, on which it is trained ," Mex said.
