Ukraine's AI Boost to Battle Drones

Ukraine is using AI to step up its defense against Russian drones. They've teamed up with a U. S. company, Palantir, to build a special digital space called the Dataroom. This is where Ukrainian defense companies can train their AI models using real military data. The main goal? To make interceptor drones smarter. These drones need to spot, identify, and take out threats on their own. Right now, the focus is on stopping Shahed-type drones, a big problem for Ukraine. Why? Because Russia is making a lot of these drones. A Ukrainian military leader said Russia can produce over 400 of them each day. And they plan to make even more.The Dataroom is only for Ukrainian companies. That's because the data used to train the AI is highly sensitive. It includes real-world intel on Russian aerial threats. Palantir, the company behind this project, has been working closely with Ukraine. They've even opened an office in Kyiv. Their software helps Ukraine track enemy positions using satellites, sensors, and drones. This isn't just about technology. It's about adapting to a new kind of warfare. Drones are changing the game, and Ukraine is trying to keep up. But can AI really make a difference on the battlefield?
