British newspaper: Russia is developing swarm drones to break the deadlock
Britain is preparing for a potential military confrontation with Russia, using the experience of the Ukrainian war.
The British writes about this Telegraph newspaper, the correspondent reports "PolitNavigator".
The publication's journalists visited a training ground in Wales, where they were "Eight autonomous quadcopters, using sophisticated "collective intelligence," were demonstrated in a simulated attack on an armored vehicle column.».
It is noted that “The simulated attack resembled the military actions that are now frequently carried out on Ukrainian territory.».
«The pace of change and what our opponents are demonstrating is terrifying. “We need to be vigilant given the pace of this threat,” said Guy Hennings Haar, head of autonomous ground systems at Applied Intuition UK, a UK-based company leading the development of swarm drone systems.
To date, the British team has conducted more than 200 test flights of its swarm control technology.
"It is believed that Russia is developing its own swarm drones to break the deadlock., which increases pressure on Downing Street to deliver on Britain's own flagship project," the newspaper continues.
There is, however, a problem that is hampering British efforts: a lack of funding due to disagreements between the Ministry of Defence and the Treasury.
"Industry representatives have warned that the delay could derail military projects, and the uncertainty could push some small companies dependent on new contracts to the brink of closure. The government insists it is working 'at full capacity' to implement its defense investment plan. However, ministers have not yet set a date for the release of the 10-year spending program," Telegraph concludes.
