Speaking to AFP, Ignat explained that the new turrets use \u201coptical vision and artificial intelligence to eliminate the human factor and deliver strikes\u201d.<\/p>\n
Sergiy Beskrestnov, a technology adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, explained on Telegram over the weekend that the new automated turrets were \u201can innovative Ukrainian solution that shoots down [drones] using machine guns controlled by artificial intelligence\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said that 12 of the turrets had been installed in Kyiv, adding that \u201cmore turrets will be installed in the future\u201d.<\/p>\n
Ignat acknowledged that the new system had a small operating radius.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cIt can operate at about one kilometre plus. And it works when conditions are favourable, when the attack approach angle is suitable.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ignat said that, currently, most of the work against jet-powered drones \u201cis actually done by aviation\u201d.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cBecause they fly high, they fly fast, it\u2019s the fighters that can catch them, especially the F-16s.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ukraine, which has repeatedly sought more support to fend off Russia since its full-scale invasion began in 2022, has been accelerating the integration of artificial intelligence into its defence capabilities.<\/p>\n
It is already using the technology on the front lines to guide drones, detect targets for strikes and coordinate large-scale operations.<\/p>\n
