TL;DR AI
2 min readKey summary
Russian military bloggers claim a new Ukrainian FPV drone can use thermal imaging and AI to detect faces, then fire an explosively formed projectile at a soldier’s head.
The article says video appears to show such a strike, but the claim cannot be independently verified.
Unlike shaped charges, EFP warheads can hit effectively from farther away, making them potentially more useful against infantry and anti-drone defenses.
The report also highlights Ukraine’s growing FPV drone output and the increasing use of AI guidance on the battlefield.
