Ukraine continues to hit Russian refineries because oil remains the biggest source of revenue for the aggressor country’s war machine. These successful attacks were made possible not only by the use of longer-range drones, but also by the integration of AI in some drones. Artificial intelligence helps UAVs navigate and avoid jamming. This was reported by CNN.
A source close to the Ukrainian drone program said accuracy in the face of interference is achieved through the use of AI. Each aircraft has an on-board computer with satellite and terrain data, and flights are determined in advance with allies. Compliance with flight plans allows Ukraine to hit targets with an accuracy of up to a meter.
According to Royal United Services Institute analyst Noah Silvius, there is a type of artificial intelligence called “machine vision” that can teach a drone to determine the geography and target it is heading towards. In addition, such a drone is completely autonomous and does not need to communicate with satellites.
Let us recall that on April 2, a Ukrainian drone flew more than 1,200 km to hit targets in Russian Tatarstan. In particular, today drones of the Main Intelligence Directorate attacked a plant where the Russians assemble Iranian kamikaze drones “Shahed”, labeling them “Geranium-2”. The Taneco oil refinery was also built in Nizhnekamsk, which is one of the ten largest oil refineries in Russia.
