Ukraine deploys AI-controlled machine gun turrets against drones
Overview
Ukraine is using AI-controlled machine gun turrets to intercept fast drones, according to Brave1, the Ukrainian defense technology body.
Brave1 says the turrets have become an essential part of Ukraine's air defense system. It says they shot down dozens of enemy drones over Kyiv last month and have downed at least 60 targets under the civilian air defense program.
Brave1 puts the cost of each unit at about $150,000. Gunfire still requires a human operator's authorization, according to the same report.
