It supposedly works with the help of AI.
Russian sources claim that Ukraine has new drones with artificial intelligence elements, which are difficult not only to detect but also to suppress with REB means. The "head" of the Russian occupation administration of Gorlovka Ivan Prikhodko, writes "Dialog".
He says the drones can reach speeds of up to 300 km/h and can operate autonomously without constant control by an operator. It is claimed that the vehicles use a navigation system without GPS, navigating by the image of the terrain.
Russian sources claim that the visual navigation technology has been previously used in space missions, which explains the name "Martianin". In this mode, the drone is able to independently correct the route and select a priority target after the initial assignment.
In the absence of a constant signal, the control of electronic warfare means becomes less effective, since there is actually nothing to suppress.
Russian military expert Yuri Knutov said that the peculiarity of the drone is almost silent operation due to the design of the blades and electric motor. According to him, the drone is capable of fixing a target and escorting it automatically using elements of artificial intelligence.
Russian sources emphasize that such technologies make it more difficult to detect the vehicles and increase the effectiveness of strikes, raising concerns among military analysts.
