Ukraine is stepping up its game in the war against Russia. The country's new defense boss, Mykhailo Fedorov, has a bold plan. He wants to share Ukraine's war data with allies. This data is gold for training AI. It includes combat stats and drone footage. Fedorov sees this as a powerful tool in talks with other nations. Why is this data so valuable? AI needs lots of real-world info to learn. Ukraine has been collecting this data since Russia invaded in 2022. Fedorov wants to build a system. Allies can use this system to train their AI. This is a smart move. It could give Ukraine an edge.
Fedorov isn't stopping there. He wants to work more closely with allies. His team is getting advice from big think tanks. These include the Center for Strategic and International Studies and RAND in the U. S. Also, Britain's Royal United Services Institute. Ukraine is also making its own drones. Fedorov said they will test a new drone this month. It's a replacement for the popular DJI Mavic. This drone is used for reconnaissance. The new drone will have the same camera but a longer flight range. This is important. Ukraine wants to reduce its reliance on Chinese tech.
