| dc.description.abstract | The current Russia-Ukraine War has led to the development of new strategies
and technologies such as the militarization of Artificial Intelligence (AI). Russia
is alleged to have assisted in the deployment of drones, interfered with
communications, and carried out cyberattacks using AI-powered systems.
Concurrently, Ukraine has also seen an unparalleled level of drone deployment,
with thousands of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) being employed that
utilize AI to bomb targets, guide artillery, and observe enemy formations.
These AI-enabled tactics have allowed both countries to carry out complex and
coordinated attacks with precision. This study delves into how AI-powered
drone warfare has been utilized in the modern context by using the Russia-
Ukraine war as a case study. The research aims to analyze the revolution of AI
in the context of warfare. Key aspects covered include the strategic influence
of AI-powered drones on conventional combat paradigms and the operational
efficiency. It will also discuss the ethical considerations and future implications
while highlighting the usage of AI-powered drones. The research methodology
employed a mixed-method approach, incorporating both primary data which
includes government-released data and drone footage as well as secondary
data from literature and doctrines. The conceptual framework is based on the
review of theoretical studies. The Russia-Ukraine War provides a current
example of the significant influence of AI, and this paper lays the groundwork
for a thorough investigation of its revolutionary significance in contemporary
warfare specialising in drones. | en_US |
