Vladimir Putin has been left humiliated after a massive Ukrainian robot offensive left 3,000 Russian soldiers dead.

A massive swathe of land previously captured by Russian forces was retaken with the success foreshadowing a change in the way the war will be fought. Carrier drones deployed further land-based drones, which then zoomed towards Russian soldiers.

The new tactic has been nicknamed Operation Vivaldi and has helped Ukraine kill 3,000 Russians in a matter of months, the 3rd Army Corps said. 48 square miles of occupied Ukraine has also been recovered.

“This drone, it has no fear, and unlike men, we are not afraid to lose it,” said Darwin, commander of the 2nd Mechanised Battalion of the 3rd Army Corps told the Telegraph. “It makes the war safer for our soldiers.”Ground and aerial drones have become commonplace.A de-mining robot operated by the Ukrainian Emergency Service.

It comes as Former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov announced the launch of a new defense tech initiative called the “Army of Robots,” which aims to replace human beings on the battlefield.

The announcement is Fedorov’s latest move into defense tech, following his dismissal by President Volodymyr Zelensky in July.

The initiative is based on the success of Fedorov ‘s Army of Drones project launched in 2022.

“We will invest in defense tech companies, launch our own technology projects, create R&D capabilities, test solutions together with the military, and scale up as quickly as possible the things that actually work on the battlefield,” the minister said.

“Even outside government, now from the private sector, we are continuing to work on our vision of technological warfare – Air. Land. Economy. – and on our main mission: to create technologies that help Ukraine win and save the lives of our service members,” Fedorov said.A view shows a damaged multi-storey apartment building following a drone attack in Kotelniki.The death toll in the war keeps rising.A view shows a damaged multi-storey apartment building following a drone attack in Kotelniki, Russia.The Ilsky oil refinery caught fire in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai as a result of an attack.
