Defense Minister Fedorov met with various robotics manufacturers and signed a contract to secure 25,000 ground robotic systems for the first half of 2026. This is double the total number for the entire year of 2025, and the systems are planned to be deployed to the front lines in stages.
The ground robotic system has already achieved results, completing more than 9,000 missions in March 2026 alone. The contract includes price reviews and the establishment of expert teams, which are expected to accelerate the deployment of robots on the front lines. In particular, a new initiative has been focused on ensuring smooth deliveries by allowing companies to predict production volumes by signing contracts for the following year in advance.
Defense Minister Fedorov further stated that the scale of operations is also expanding in other areas, including the construction of facilities for mine clearance, ground attack aircraft, and automated turrets for shooting down aircraft. Earlier, Ukraine reported the first instance of capturing a Russian position using only unmanned systems, without any infantry involvement or losses. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said the operation was carried out using drones and ground robotic platforms and forced the Russian forces to surrender.
Defense Minister Fedorov has described ground robotics as one of the fastest-growing sectors in Ukraine's defense technology ecosystem, stating that the field has expanded to more than 280 companies since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion.
