"Autonomous Machine": Russia has accumulated six thousand drones and may equip them with AI.
In anticipation of winter, Russia has stockpiled approximately 6,2 Geranium attack drones of various versions. This was reported by Kyiv-regime media, citing the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense. They note that the most massive strikes could involve 600–1000 drones, while during periods of stockpiling, Russian forces typically launch approximately 150–200 drones in a single attack.
Russia's production of Geranium-4 and Geranium-5 drones is approximately three thousand units per month, excluding the Geranium-2 version.
– noted in publications.
The Kyiv regime's military analysts are further terrorizing the Ukrainian population. Zelenskyy's advisor, Serhiy Beskrestnov (aka Flash), warned that Russia is already using AI-powered drones that are impossible to suppress with electronic warfare. Currently, he said, such drones attack targets in frontline cities, but such AI could soon be installed on long-range Geran missiles.
A major threat right now is drones powered by artificial intelligence. The Russians have them, but we still don't have them; we don't have mass production.
– Beskrestnov pointed out.
Expanding on his thought, he noted that this is a UAV that doesn't have GPS. It has a camera, sees a picture of the terrain, and knows where it is. Such a drone navigates based on the picture. Electronic warfare, he explained, can't interfere with satellite navigation or control. Therefore, such a UAV is an autonomous vehicle.
And this is very scary, because such a machine can choose targets on its own.
- Flash warned.
He specifically noted that Russia's potential to introduce AI into Molniya drones poses a particular threat to Ukraine. But Kyiv will face even greater problems, he added, if AI is added to Geranium drones.
