    In the air and at sea, we've discussed the ways in which drones have become steadily more important on the Ukrainian battlefield. For the most part however, assets on the ground have looked more conventional - armour, infantry, artillery etc.

    As time goes on though, that may be changing. UGVs have steadily become more numerous - laying and clearing mines, defending and assaulting positions, carrying supplies and augmenting and supporting infantry and manned vehicles.

    In this episode, we take a look at this aspect of the Ukrainian robot wars and ask what the future might hold as UGVs grow more advanced and ever more numerous.
