UAVs

“According to Western officials, drones now account for 86% of casualties on the Ukrainian battlefield. Experts believe that Ukraine alone produced between 4 and 5 million drones in 2025.”

“It costs just $20,000, but taking it down can cost anywhere from $400,000 to $4 million. That's like trying to stop a bicycle with a Lamborghini.”

“The battlefield actually became more and more drone saturated and dangerous over time. Concentrating and maneuvering without detection became ever more difficult.”

“And in terms of casualty generation, at least according to Ukrainian figures, it's now Ukrainian UAS, the drone force generating the overwhelming majority of Russian casualties, not the Ukrainian artillery. And while the latter remains immensely important, it relies to a great extent on Ukrainian drones to spot and correct for it.”

“What if you have an army of 10 million drones instead of, you know, 10 million human soldiers? What what are the norms of the of the AI driven drones? I think if we handled this wrongly, you could have a situation where there's a very small number of people or one person who has their hand on the button and kind of, you know, controls those 10 million drones.”

“There's a guy in a property that is sitting in his property and a literally a drone attacks four or five stories above him. He's recording this. He's recording it from his apartment and few stories above him got hit.”

“Rob, watch this. Watch this, folks. Go ahead. >> It's a delta wing.”

“We do of course know that the vast majority of casualties at least according to the Ukrainian data are inflicted by by UAVs.”

“That brings the total from the start of the year to more than 500 people killed in drone strikes.”
