We move fast, but every decision we make is day by day.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Giorgi Tskhakaia, adviser to the Vice Prime Minister, Ministry of Digital Transformation, detailed the ways Ukraine\u2019s technology has grown, noting that the nation\u2019s forces have achieved results with limited resources, testing new tech on the battlefield with real-time combat feedback.<\/p>\n<p>Tskhakaia said that when Ukraine realized they did not have enough resources to defeat all the equipment Russia has, they invented inexpensive drones capable of carrying out strikes on Russian targets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believed in the idea of drones back in 2022, opened the market, gave private businesses the opportunities to scale, and everything took off,\u201d Federov said.<\/p>\n<p>The nation has developed air, land, and sea drones, adapting to Russia\u2019s combat tactics and learning new ways to defeat them each day, Tskhakaia said.<\/p>\n<p>Tskhakaia said Ukraine envisions an \u201cArmy of Drones\u201d with the goal of a fully automated front line held not by humans but by robots, saving human lives.<\/p>\n<p>Another innovation the Ukrainian forces have implemented is the \u201cArmy of Drones Bonus\u201d \u2013 a video-game inspired points system that has turned destroying enemy targets into a game for its military forces, Tskhakaia said. Under this program, units earn points for each enemy target destroyed, which they can then use to acquire different types of unmanned systems.<\/p>\n<p>Artificial intelligence is yet another ambition for the Ukrainian forces, Tskhakaia said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are analyzing everything with the help of AI,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have an ambition to be the first one who will predict air strikes through AI.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Underpinning all the innovation is a robust open Ukrainian military market, with hundreds of companies working to solve problems through real-time research and development, testing tech directly on the battlefield, he noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s test everything in Ukraine,\u201d Tskhakaia said. \u201cWe hope that together, as long as we cherish the same values, as long as we are fighting for the same freedom, we are going to win, because we must.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/LANDEURO\/\" target=\"_blank\">LANDEURO<\/a> is a catalyst for action, bringing together experts from military, civil and private sectors to generate discussion and identify opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>See panel video <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/LANDEURO\/\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/\" target=\"_blank\">U.S. Army Europe and Africa<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/USArmyEURAF\" target=\"_blank\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/usarmyeuraf\/\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USArmyEURAF\" target=\"_blank\">X<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC7tqiET9PBy-4zn_gCLTI8Q\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/16157321\" target=\"_blank\">LinkedIn<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Giorgi Tskhakaia, adviser to the Minister of Digital Tranformation of Ukraine, speaks to an audience of Allies and industry personnel during a Keynote Presentation at LANDEURO at the RheinMain CongressCenter in Wiesbaden, Germany, July 16, 2025.
