AI‑driven weapons reshape Ukraine war

Since the summer of 2026, Ukrainian troops have fielded AI‑guided glide‑bombs that can be launched from stand‑off distances, dramatically reducing exposure to Russian air‑defences.

The weapons use machine‑learning algorithms to identify high‑value targets in real time, allowing rapid strikes on logistics hubs.

Russia has responded by accelerating its own AI‑driven missile projects, prompting NATO officials to warn of an emerging autonomous‑weapon arms race.
