00:00:00.017 --> 00:00:05.177
Die Übersetzung von Jans Stimme vom Deutschen ins Englische wurde mit einer KI erstellt.

00:00:05.177 --> 00:00:09.437
Der Luft ist voll von Dronen, über die Trenchen, über die Gravel-Röden,

00:00:09.537 --> 00:00:13.837
über alle Dirt-Track-Leading-Fronten. In Ukraine, Soldaten sprechen jetzt von

00:00:13.837 --> 00:00:17.637
einer Zollung, die 20 Kilometer tief ist, einige sogar 40.

00:00:17.977 --> 00:00:20.917
Jeder, der sich da bewegt, weiß, dass ein Bewegung sein könnte.

00:00:21.577 --> 00:00:26.277
Und in der Mitte dieser Zollung, neue Maschinen sind, Dronen,

00:00:26.297 --> 00:00:29.677
Tracked-Vehikel, mit Ammunition, Wasser und Essen.

00:00:30.017 --> 00:00:36.457
Some of them are armed and some are used to evacuate wounded soldiers from the

00:00:36.457 --> 00:00:38.757
kill zone who would otherwise have no chance of survival.

00:00:38.937 --> 00:00:42.517
In this episode of Crisis Mode, we want to take a closer look at how profoundly

00:00:42.517 --> 00:00:45.557
these drones have changed the war in Ukraine.

00:00:45.837 --> 00:00:51.097
What does it actually mean when ground robots suddenly become mass-produced?

00:00:51.257 --> 00:00:57.157
How close are we to those images, AI-driven drones, combat robots,

00:00:57.737 --> 00:00:59.497
a Terminator on the battlefield?

00:01:00.017 --> 00:01:02.657
Und was das alles für uns in Europa bedeutet?

00:01:02.877 --> 00:01:09.017
Without drone support, organisieren einen Attacken oder eine Defense ist essentiell eine Suicide-Mission.

00:01:14.417 --> 00:01:17.597
In Crisis Mode, the podcast from KOM.

00:01:24.021 --> 00:01:27.181
Ich bin Jan Jessen, war und crisis reporter für die Funker Media Group.

00:01:27.401 --> 00:01:31.341
In diesem Episode, wir kommen auf eine Konversation viele von euch haben bereits gehört.

00:01:31.861 --> 00:01:36.401
Putin's Drones over Europe – How Big is the Threat? war der Titel von dem Episode

00:01:36.401 --> 00:01:38.661
und wir werden es wieder in den Show Notes verabschieden.

00:01:39.221 --> 00:01:44.081
Back then, wir haben mit Militär-Expert Gustav Gressel über Drones,

00:01:44.601 --> 00:01:50.841
über Airports, Power Plants und Barracks, über Reconnaissance Flights und Russland's politische Tests.

00:01:50.841 --> 00:01:58.301
Today, we're taking it a step further, moving closer to the front line in Ukraine.

00:01:58.601 --> 00:02:03.101
As we've discussed several times on this podcast, the war in Ukraine has changed

00:02:03.101 --> 00:02:06.121
dramatically in recent years. It has now been raging for four years,

00:02:06.261 --> 00:02:09.761
and the technology has transformed completely.

00:02:10.041 --> 00:02:14.401
At the beginning, when I first traveled there, after the start of the Russian

00:02:14.401 --> 00:02:19.761
invasion, there were a few reconnaissance drones in the air directing artillery.

00:02:20.441 --> 00:02:25.621
Now, drones have become one of the most important weapons, if not the most important.

00:02:25.801 --> 00:02:29.941
As I mentioned earlier, drones now dominate the airspace directly over the front.

00:02:30.501 --> 00:02:34.581
Long-range drones attack Ukrainian cities every night. And on the other side,

00:02:34.781 --> 00:02:39.241
the Ukrainians use long-range drones every night to strike Russia's energy infrastructure,

00:02:39.821 --> 00:02:43.741
oil and gas production, in an effort to weaken the Russian war machine.

00:02:44.001 --> 00:02:45.801
There are surface drones, underwater

00:02:45.801 --> 00:02:50.881
drones. Und wenn ich da in den Kramatorsk-Ukraine war, in den USA.

00:02:52.101 --> 00:02:59.521
Bin ich mit Soldaten von der 101st Brigade in einer wooded Nähe der Stadt.

00:03:00.421 --> 00:03:04.221
Kramatorsk ist eine der zwei zwei major Stadt in den Donetsk-Region,

00:03:04.441 --> 00:03:06.241
still held by Ukrainian forces.

00:03:06.781 --> 00:03:10.841
Die 101st ist eigentlich ein Guard Brigade von Generalstaff,

00:03:10.901 --> 00:03:15.781
aber es ist jetzt auch auf der Front Line. Dort haben sie mir einen Droid-Robot

00:03:15.781 --> 00:03:18.381
gezeigt, der Droid TW 12.7.

00:03:18.621 --> 00:03:26.061
Der 12.7 betrifft den Kalliber des Weaponen auf dieser Fahrrad-Vehikl.

00:03:26.983 --> 00:03:31.483
A heavy Browning machine gun, as I said, caliber 12.7. They use it as a combat robot.

00:03:31.843 --> 00:03:37.583
But the platform carrying that Browning is also used for many other purposes.

00:03:38.323 --> 00:03:40.663
Transporting ammunition to the front as well as water and food.

00:03:40.903 --> 00:03:42.703
And sometimes evacuating the wounded.

00:03:43.143 --> 00:03:47.103
That's the machine I saw there, the one they showed me. It's used for firing.

00:03:47.583 --> 00:03:51.683
But how new is this? And at what scale are we now talking about these kinds of systems?

00:03:52.283 --> 00:03:55.683
That's what I asked Gustav Gräsel. He is a military expert at the National Defense

00:03:55.683 --> 00:03:57.643
Academy of the Austrian Armed Forces in Vienna.

00:03:58.003 --> 00:04:02.123
And you may already know him from our podcast. We've done several episodes with

00:04:02.123 --> 00:04:05.903
him. We'll also link everything we've done with him in the show notes.

00:04:07.124 --> 00:04:10.304
Ja, wir sehen sie natürlich hauptsächlich in Ukraine. Also andere Fahrzeuge

00:04:10.304 --> 00:04:15.104
benutzen auch robotische Kettenfahrzeuge, aber in viel geringerem Ausmaß.

00:04:17.164 --> 00:04:21.384
Yes, we naturally see them mainly in Ukraine. Other armed forces also use robotic

00:04:21.384 --> 00:04:23.464
tracked vehicles, but on a much smaller scale.

00:04:23.944 --> 00:04:26.384
The first application was actually in mine-clearing operations,

00:04:26.584 --> 00:04:29.424
either to remove mines or for more specialized mining tasks.

00:04:29.524 --> 00:04:32.864
For example, sending tracked robots equipped with cameras into buildings suspected

00:04:32.864 --> 00:04:36.084
of being mined. They would first take images, map the interior spaces,

00:04:36.224 --> 00:04:38.064
and only then decide how to clear the structure.

00:04:38.304 --> 00:04:41.484
In combat or logistical roles, however, these tracked robots have now become

00:04:41.484 --> 00:04:45.524
mass-produced in Ukraine. Last year alone, Ukraine produced around 12,000 ground robots.

00:04:45.884 --> 00:04:49.424
This year, the goal is 50,000. In terms of quantity, this far exceeds what has

00:04:49.424 --> 00:04:52.224
previously been deployed by other countries such as the United States or Israel.

00:04:52.224 --> 00:04:55.344
Also das ist sozusagen von der Quantität hervorweit größer als das,

00:04:55.444 --> 00:05:00.704
was bisher von anderen Staaten, USA, Israel, eingesetzt wurde.

00:05:01.424 --> 00:05:06.084
15,000 ground robots last year alone. The target is 50,000.

00:05:06.224 --> 00:05:10.024
That's an industrial scale that we in Europe are still far from reaching.

00:05:10.344 --> 00:05:14.284
And these robots aren't operating on some testing ground. They're deployed in

00:05:14.284 --> 00:05:19.624
the middle of a war in which drones, as I said, have become one of the most

00:05:19.624 --> 00:05:21.044
important categories of weapons.

00:05:21.424 --> 00:05:24.544
Every month... Tens of thousands of drones are produced.

00:05:25.304 --> 00:05:30.884
FPV drones, these kamikaze drones operating at the front, reconnaissance drones,

00:05:31.564 --> 00:05:36.844
bomber drones, long-range drones, as well as surface and underwater drones.

00:05:36.844 --> 00:05:40.624
They're built in Ukraine itself and also supplied from abroad.

00:05:41.064 --> 00:05:47.104
The UK, for example, recently announced it plans to deliver 120,000 drones to

00:05:47.104 --> 00:05:53.524
Ukraine. As I said, these have now become one of the key weapons.

00:05:53.804 --> 00:05:57.664
What that actually means in practice is something I witnessed near the front

00:05:57.664 --> 00:06:03.484
line around Kramatorsk, where the front is still about 10 to 15 kilometers away.

00:06:04.784 --> 00:06:07.744
You can already see how dangerous the situation has become when driving into

00:06:07.744 --> 00:06:11.044
Kramatorsk or into the neighboring city of Slovyansk.

00:06:11.931 --> 00:06:15.251
Für Kilometern, du fährst durch, was essentially net tunnels,

00:06:15.571 --> 00:06:22.171
protective coverings stretched over the roads to shield civilian vehicles still

00:06:22.171 --> 00:06:27.271
moving through the area, as well as military vehicles from Russian drone attacks.

00:06:27.511 --> 00:06:32.951
It's a makeshift solution, and driving through it feels quite oppressive.

00:06:33.871 --> 00:06:39.571
You're effectively inside a kind of tunnel made of fishing nets.

00:06:39.571 --> 00:06:43.091
Und manchmal kann man sehen, wo die Drones sind, da sind, da sind,

00:06:43.591 --> 00:06:47.471
da sind, da sind, da sind, da sind, da sind, da sind, da sind,

00:06:47.571 --> 00:06:48.291
da sind, da sind, da sind, da sind.

00:06:48.291 --> 00:06:55.011
All of this shows just how dramatically things have changed due to drone warfare.

00:06:55.691 --> 00:07:00.311
Wir waren near Kramatorsk in a small wooded area meeting with soldiers.

00:07:01.151 --> 00:07:07.371
At some point a large transport vehicle arrived and then this drone rattled out.

00:07:08.151 --> 00:07:11.551
At first glance, it actually looked quite cute, not particularly large,

00:07:11.671 --> 00:07:16.751
more like those small mini excavators you often see on construction sites,

00:07:16.931 --> 00:07:19.991
maybe two or three meters long, very compact in appearance.

00:07:20.891 --> 00:07:25.011
And that's exactly how this drone came across. But then you notice the machine

00:07:25.011 --> 00:07:28.051
gun mounted on it and suddenly it didn't look cute anymore.

00:07:28.231 --> 00:07:30.411
That made it feel distinctly more threatening.

00:07:30.911 --> 00:07:36.571
This drone is essentially a platform, a set of tracks with a base unit.

00:07:37.511 --> 00:07:42.251
Differente Modulungen können auf ihn beantragen werden. Nicht alle diese Dronen

00:07:42.251 --> 00:07:44.051
sind mit Maschine-Gunst.

00:07:44.471 --> 00:07:47.691
Ich fragte die Oficierenden, ob sie diese Dronen wirklich brauchen,

00:07:47.691 --> 00:07:50.011
oder ob sie eher technologische Gimmick sind.

00:07:51.334 --> 00:07:54.794
Sie sind sehr wichtig. Es sind die Wohnungen notwendig.

00:07:57.274 --> 00:08:01.414
Die in irgendwelchen Sphären benutzen sind.

00:08:01.694 --> 00:08:05.814
Ja, diese Drones sind absolut wichtig für uns. In essence, sie sind eine Lebens-Saving-Equipment.

00:08:05.874 --> 00:08:08.954
Wir benutzen sie für die Wounded Soldaten, für diejenigen, die Hilfe brauchen.

00:08:09.154 --> 00:08:11.674
Wir verkaufen sie für die Anwendung, für die Medizin, für die Medizin und für

00:08:11.674 --> 00:08:12.594
die Anwendung mit ihnen.

00:08:12.754 --> 00:08:15.534
Wir benutzen sie auch für die Mäne, und sie können auch für die Feuer-Support

00:08:15.534 --> 00:08:17.734
nutzen. Das bedeutet, dass sie wirkliche Systeme sind.

00:08:17.894 --> 00:08:24.234
Und für uns an der Front, sie sind sehr wichtig. Wir machen alles,

00:08:24.814 --> 00:08:29.854
wir machen, wir machen, wir machen eine Feuerwehr, unsere Positionen.

00:08:30.034 --> 00:08:36.094
Es sind sehr viele Funktionale Produkte, die in vielen Sätzen benutzen sind.

00:08:37.894 --> 00:08:43.914
Ja, Lebensmittel, Evacuieren die Wounded, Transporte Ammunition und Supplies,

00:08:44.094 --> 00:08:48.054
Lägen Mines, Providere Feuer-Support, all of this kann be done mit diesen Tracked

00:08:48.054 --> 00:08:50.974
Vehikeln. As I said, they're built on a modular system.

00:08:51.594 --> 00:08:55.094
Not every drone can do everything, but once you have the platform,

00:08:55.454 --> 00:08:57.814
it can be reconfigured quickly.

00:08:58.194 --> 00:09:02.094
Most of that conversion work is actually done by the units themselves.

00:09:02.534 --> 00:09:06.714
And of course, I asked the officer about a particular mission that had stayed

00:09:06.714 --> 00:09:10.474
with him, whether there was an operation he especially remembered.

00:09:10.474 --> 00:09:14.654
He didn't want to turn it into some grand heroic story.

00:09:14.914 --> 00:09:18.794
For him, this is simply everyday reality. Aber er hat er noch nicht gesagt,

00:09:18.794 --> 00:09:21.934
dass er eine Evacuation ist.

00:09:22.474 --> 00:09:25.854
Wir haben noch nicht in den Extraordinary Missions.

00:09:27.554 --> 00:09:32.114
Es ist eine gewisse Arbeit. Es ist eine Evacuation von verletten.

00:09:32.354 --> 00:09:34.334
Es sind eine Lebensmittelbarkeit.

00:09:35.434 --> 00:09:40.254
Wir senden eine Provision, wir senden eine BK.

00:09:40.414 --> 00:09:43.774
Es ist eine soziale Arbeit.

00:09:44.979 --> 00:09:47.779
Ich würde nicht sagen, dass wir immer noch immer noch gewohnt haben,

00:09:48.299 --> 00:09:49.679
die meisten von uns ist routine.

00:09:50.039 --> 00:09:54.839
Aber eine Evacuation in meinem Kopf ist. Ein Infanterie-unit bringt einen sehr

00:09:54.839 --> 00:09:58.719
schweren Soldaten zu einem Positionen und ihn auf der Grunde auf der Grunde.

00:09:58.799 --> 00:10:01.939
Es war sehr schwierig, weil Russische F.P. V.

00:10:02.059 --> 00:10:06.259
Drones waren überall, und Russische Reconnaissance war die ganze Zeit.

00:10:06.439 --> 00:10:10.979
Wir dann laden den Mann auf den Drone und ihn 16 km aus der Grunde.

00:10:14.979 --> 00:10:24.539
Wir haben die Evaküation, wir haben sie in den Dronen, die wir aufwärmung haben.

00:10:25.479 --> 00:10:31.519
Das war sehr schwer. Die Leute haben sie mit dem Dronen gebracht.

00:10:32.019 --> 00:10:38.779
Wir haben ihn mit dem Dronen gebracht und wir haben.

00:10:39.219 --> 00:10:43.559
Das war die Evaküation in der Region 16 Kilometer.

00:10:46.725 --> 00:10:50.905
Das war sehr schwierig. Wir haben die Leute, dann haben wir ihn mit dem Drone

00:10:50.905 --> 00:10:52.865
geholfen, ihn mit dem Drone und monitorieren ihn.

00:10:53.005 --> 00:10:56.305
Das war ein Evacuation über 16 Kilometern.

00:10:56.565 --> 00:11:00.765
Wenn wir über Ukraine sprechen, ist wichtig zu verstehen, dass die Drone Evacuierung

00:11:00.765 --> 00:11:06.425
der Wounded haben, das immer schwer geworden ist, ein Thema wir schon seitens

00:11:06.425 --> 00:11:07.125
in diesem Podcast haben.

00:11:07.705 --> 00:11:13.145
Drone activity in der Front hat es viel schwer gemacht. It's not just that soldiers

00:11:13.145 --> 00:11:18.005
now face enormous risks simply getting to their positions because there are

00:11:18.005 --> 00:11:19.965
so many drones in the air.

00:11:20.285 --> 00:11:24.665
Many are killed on the way in or on the way back. It also creates extreme challenges

00:11:24.665 --> 00:11:26.505
for evacuating the wounded.

00:11:27.265 --> 00:11:32.585
Normally, injured soldiers need to be moved out of frontline positions as quickly

00:11:32.585 --> 00:11:38.505
as possible so they can be treated at stabilisation points and then transferred to hospitals.

00:11:38.505 --> 00:11:42.485
This is especially critical for soldiers who apply tourniquets,

00:11:42.865 --> 00:11:49.345
those self-applied devices every soldier carries to stop severe bleeding,

00:11:49.885 --> 00:11:52.585
for example, from shrapnel wounds or arterial injuries.

00:11:52.925 --> 00:11:56.505
These tourniquets are life-saving because they stop bleeding,

00:11:56.845 --> 00:11:59.585
but they also need to be removed relatively quickly.

00:11:59.885 --> 00:12:06.505
Otherwise, the limb, an arm or a leg can die due to the restricted blood flow.

00:12:07.145 --> 00:12:12.005
Unfortunately, this has become a major problem. Many soldiers are now undergoing

00:12:12.005 --> 00:12:15.265
amputations, because the tourniquets remain in place for too long.

00:12:15.665 --> 00:12:21.905
This condition is often referred to as tourniquet syndrome, and it's something

00:12:21.905 --> 00:12:24.285
I'm seeing more and more frequently in Ukraine.

00:12:24.705 --> 00:12:30.485
That's why these ground robots are not just gadgets, they are often life-saving tools for soldiers.

00:12:31.125 --> 00:12:34.945
If you can send in a machine to retrieve a wounded soldier, you don't have to

00:12:34.945 --> 00:12:38.905
risk two or three others who would otherwise have to carry their injured comrade out under fire.

00:12:39.365 --> 00:12:43.545
And there's another aspect. Drones, not just ground drones, but aerial ones

00:12:43.545 --> 00:12:47.365
as well, have become essential lifelines for soldiers at the front.

00:12:47.765 --> 00:12:53.105
Some remain in their positions for one, two, three, sometimes even four or five months.

00:12:53.525 --> 00:12:58.185
They can't shower, they can't carry enough supplies, and they often sit in small

00:12:58.185 --> 00:13:04.065
dugouts, nur ein paar Meter m² in der Größe, die für Wochen an einem Zeitraum

00:13:04.065 --> 00:13:04.445
geholfen werden müssen.

00:13:05.305 --> 00:13:09.225
Sie müssen mit Essen, Medizin und Ammunition beherrschen. Increasingly,

00:13:09.305 --> 00:13:10.065
Drones sind dafür benutzt.

00:13:10.625 --> 00:13:18.465
Large aerial Drones können mehrere Kilogramm bis zu rund 20 Kilogramm.

00:13:19.179 --> 00:13:24.339
Dropping supplies where needed, but ground drones can carry much more,

00:13:24.419 --> 00:13:27.579
up to 200 kilograms of supplies to the front.

00:13:28.039 --> 00:13:33.379
And as mentioned, they are also used to evacuate the wounded from this 20 to

00:13:33.379 --> 00:13:38.239
30 kilometer deep kill zone where kamikaze drones attack anything that moves.

00:13:38.539 --> 00:13:43.099
According to Gressel, Russian forces may now be suffering more dead than wounded

00:13:43.099 --> 00:13:48.639
simply because many injured soldiers can no longer be evacuated from the battlefield.

00:13:49.179 --> 00:13:53.199
The distances are too great and the route to collection points is too dangerous.

00:13:53.559 --> 00:13:58.099
Some of the Ukrainian drones now even have mechanical arms that can lift wounded

00:13:58.099 --> 00:13:59.939
soldiers onto the platform.

00:14:00.399 --> 00:14:07.019
But in most cases, it's still their comrades who place the injured soldier onto

00:14:07.019 --> 00:14:12.519
the drone, press the start button and then send the tracked vehicle off on its

00:14:12.519 --> 00:14:13.919
own through the kill zone.

00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:20.479
Infantry soldiers loading a severely wounded comrade onto a ground drone Russian

00:14:20.479 --> 00:14:26.239
FPV drones overhead Russian reconnaissance everywhere 16 km,

00:14:26.699 --> 00:14:33.059
as the officer described in minus 15 degrees Celsius 4 hours on a tracked vehicle

00:14:33.059 --> 00:14:34.719
right through the kill zone.

00:14:35.788 --> 00:14:39.348
Without these drones, the officer said, the wounded would simply freeze to death.

00:14:39.628 --> 00:14:40.908
That's one side of the story.

00:14:41.548 --> 00:14:45.828
Ground robots as improvised ambulances in a world where the routes to the front

00:14:45.828 --> 00:14:53.268
have become deadly, where evacuation itself has turned into a massive problem.

00:14:53.648 --> 00:14:58.368
But on the other hand, these systems are only part of a much larger picture.

00:14:58.548 --> 00:15:03.908
Gressel says Ukraine is only just beginning to learn how to integrate ground

00:15:03.908 --> 00:15:07.188
and aerial drones mit Infantry und Armored Units into Coordinated Operations.

00:15:12.848 --> 00:15:16.788
The increased production numbers mean that last year many individual systems were tested.

00:15:17.228 --> 00:15:20.348
And this year Ukraine is essentially trying to experiment with how to deploy

00:15:20.348 --> 00:15:23.628
robots in combination with regular infantry and mechanized forces.

00:15:24.228 --> 00:15:27.408
They are also testing how to coordinate multiple types of robots together and

00:15:27.408 --> 00:15:28.788
how to integrate them operationally.

00:15:29.208 --> 00:15:31.948
A lot of what is currently happening in terms of innovation and learning at

00:15:31.948 --> 00:15:35.308
the front ist tatsächlich tactical learning, figuring out what quantities of

00:15:35.308 --> 00:15:38.448
which systems are needed for which combat tasks, how the mix has to be structured

00:15:38.448 --> 00:15:42.008
and how synchronization between different systems must be achieved in order to be successful.

00:15:45.115 --> 00:15:50.335
The drone I looked at there, the Droid TW 12.7, the one equipped with a Browning

00:15:50.335 --> 00:15:53.675
machine gun, reportedly achieved something quite remarkable.

00:15:53.855 --> 00:15:57.935
Not this exact machine, but one of the same type, is said to have held a position

00:15:57.935 --> 00:15:59.315
for about a month and a half.

00:15:59.835 --> 00:16:04.095
That means the system was deployed to the front line, moved into position,

00:16:04.115 --> 00:16:06.495
and then effectively secured that area.

00:16:06.775 --> 00:16:10.355
And according to the soldiers, it managed to do this for around six weeks.

00:16:10.355 --> 00:16:15.715
During that time, it also reportedly engaged in several firefights with Russian

00:16:15.715 --> 00:16:19.035
soldiers and assault units attempting to break through to the front.

00:16:19.355 --> 00:16:23.655
At night, the machine would return, be reloaded, its batteries recharged,

00:16:23.735 --> 00:16:26.995
and then head back out to the same position the next morning.

00:16:27.355 --> 00:16:31.135
And this cycle is said to have continued for about a month and a half,

00:16:31.295 --> 00:16:33.235
as the soldiers I spoke with told me.

00:16:33.655 --> 00:16:38.675
More recently, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Für den ersten

00:16:38.675 --> 00:16:44.875
Mal, die russische Positionen wurden gesammelt, nur mit unvergänglichen Systemen benutzt.

00:16:45.095 --> 00:16:49.075
In anderen Worten, diese Maschinen waren nicht nur defensiviert,

00:16:49.075 --> 00:16:51.735
um eine Position zu halten, sie waren in eine offensivante Operation.

00:16:52.115 --> 00:16:57.915
Und natürlich, das klingt quasi wie science-fiction, eine Krieg ohne Soldaten in direktem Kampf.

00:16:58.355 --> 00:17:02.775
Ich fragte Gustav Gressel, ob das tatsächlich realistisch ist oder ob es mehr

00:17:02.775 --> 00:17:03.995
möglich ist, Propaganda.

00:17:04.866 --> 00:17:05.146
Ja.

00:17:10.726 --> 00:17:14.406
Ukraine is experimenting with such offensive methods. In purely robotic attacks,

00:17:14.406 --> 00:17:16.626
however, the terrain still has to be held at some point.

00:17:17.046 --> 00:17:20.586
Eventually, infantry has to move in. So there is usually a transition between

00:17:20.586 --> 00:17:24.746
robotic control and human control, and drawing clear boundaries between the two is difficult.

00:17:25.206 --> 00:17:27.786
What is interesting is that in these seven phases of a Ukrainian attack,

00:17:27.966 --> 00:17:31.526
only the last two phases are actually carried out by regular mechanized infantry,

00:17:31.666 --> 00:17:35.426
armored infantry units, known in Germany as Panzergrenadier, und physical troops.

00:17:35.786 --> 00:17:38.486
In den ersten Phasen, conventional artillery still plays a limited role.

00:17:38.606 --> 00:17:40.266
Aber für die meisten Parten, drones dominate.

00:17:40.666 --> 00:17:42.766
Reconnaissance in attack drones, electronic warfare systems,

00:17:42.966 --> 00:17:45.306
electronic intelligence systems und similar technologies.

00:17:52.466 --> 00:17:56.126
Yes, that may be the big reality check when it comes to robotic attacks.

00:17:56.746 --> 00:18:00.566
In the end, humans still have to go into the terrain. There always need to be

00:18:00.566 --> 00:18:05.286
soldiers who physically hold ground and who, wenn es um zu nehmen oder zu schützen

00:18:05.286 --> 00:18:11.046
territory geht, um zu erinnern, dass es eigentlich kontrolliert wird.

00:18:11.526 --> 00:18:17.206
Die reale Frage ist weniger über wann die Maschinen vollständig werden,

00:18:17.706 --> 00:18:23.266
sondern mehr über wie die Dronen die Battlesfeld vorbereiten und wie sie die

00:18:23.266 --> 00:18:23.986
Natur der Krieg verändern.

00:18:24.126 --> 00:18:30.886
Wenn man mit Dronen-Operanten in der Ukraine spricht, und wir haben das für

00:18:30.886 --> 00:18:31.886
diesen Podcast schon seitens getan.

00:18:32.962 --> 00:18:38.222
You constantly hear the same idea. In the future, drones may only receive a

00:18:38.222 --> 00:18:43.642
mission objective and artificial intelligence will handle everything else. What does that mean?

00:18:43.922 --> 00:18:49.802
The theory is that drones would eventually be equipped with small onboard computers

00:18:49.802 --> 00:18:53.362
or controlled by them that are AI driven.

00:18:53.642 --> 00:18:59.082
That could solve many of the current problems on the battlefield when it comes to drones.

00:18:59.922 --> 00:19:05.082
Right now, the biggest issue is that many drones are still radio-controlled.

00:19:05.382 --> 00:19:09.702
That makes them vulnerable to jamming and disruption through electronic warfare.

00:19:10.062 --> 00:19:15.062
This wouldn't be the case if the drone had its own small brain, so to speak.

00:19:15.302 --> 00:19:18.722
In that scenario, there would be no need for pilots anymore.

00:19:18.722 --> 00:19:22.702
The drone would simply receive a mission and a tactical objective,

00:19:23.242 --> 00:19:29.322
then set off on the ground or in the air and carry out that mission autonomously.

00:19:29.582 --> 00:19:32.982
It's a chilling idea, of course, because in practical terms it would also mean

00:19:32.982 --> 00:19:36.842
that a drone could ultimately decide on its own what counts as a legitimate

00:19:36.842 --> 00:19:40.422
target, what is a high-value target, Und es könnte auch entscheiden,

00:19:41.162 --> 00:19:44.022
dass Menschen aus dem ETHIC-Perspektive zu töten.

00:19:44.042 --> 00:19:47.802
Das ist extrem schwierig, obwohl man in der Krieg immer immer fragt,

00:19:48.002 --> 00:19:50.542
wie eine ETHIC-WARFARE in der ersten Stelle kann.

00:19:50.722 --> 00:19:54.282
Ich fragte Kessel, ob das nur ein Traum ist, oder ein Nachtmärk,

00:19:54.682 --> 00:19:58.862
oder ob wir diese Visions von ukrainischen Engenern und Soldaten sehen,

00:19:58.862 --> 00:19:59.762
werden sie eine Realität.

00:20:00.362 --> 00:20:04.422
Aber bis wir dahin kommen, dauert es noch eine Zeit. Also wir erinnern uns an

00:20:04.422 --> 00:20:08.482
die Medienberichterstattung über zum Beispiel die Helsing HX-2,

00:20:08.482 --> 00:20:10.962
die angeblich nicht funktioniert hätte.

00:20:12.203 --> 00:20:15.183
Aber wir sind noch ein bisschen weg von dem. Wir können alle wissen,

00:20:15.283 --> 00:20:19.963
dass die Medien über die Systeme wie die Helsing-HX2 die Allergienste nicht funktioniert.

00:20:20.563 --> 00:20:23.123
Leider den Fall, dass ein paar Zahlen und die Erklärung des Verkaufs war,

00:20:23.843 --> 00:20:25.363
dass die Software der Analyse der Anwendung des Anwendungen war.

00:20:26.203 --> 00:20:28.483
Die Software, die Tarkotik des Anwendungen der Anwendungen zu finden und die

00:20:28.483 --> 00:20:32.803
Drones ohne eine direkte radio-link, besonders in Situationen von heavy jamming

00:20:32.803 --> 00:20:37.503
oder GPS-Disruption, funktioniert sehr gut auf Firing Ranges und Training Grounds.

00:20:37.743 --> 00:20:43.743
Aber in realen Kampf, die andere Seite ist, und ist nicht ein klar, identifiziertes Ziel.

00:20:44.103 --> 00:20:47.203
Depending auf wie die Russen, wie sie sich verfolgen, wie sie sich verfolgen,

00:20:47.683 --> 00:20:49.323
wie sie sich verfolgen, wie sie sich verfolgen, wie sie sich verfolgen,

00:20:49.443 --> 00:20:51.083
wie sie sich verfolgen, wie sie sich verfolgen.

00:20:51.603 --> 00:20:55.583
Es gab da wirklich noch ein paar Ziele in den Medien. Das war nicht nur in den

00:20:55.583 --> 00:21:01.803
Medien, die Ukraine-Dronen-Dronen-Stand auf die gleichen Probleme.

00:21:02.143 --> 00:21:07.583
Die Computationale und die Programme in der Real-Kombat wurden deutlich höher

00:21:07.583 --> 00:21:10.683
als die Ukraine-Dronen-Stand in testing or laboratory development.

00:21:11.123 --> 00:21:16.023
It took about a year to solve these software issues and refine the systems for real-world use.

00:21:16.323 --> 00:21:20.103
The second major challenge is bandwidth, especially with drone swarms,

00:21:20.263 --> 00:21:23.483
of which there are currently very few or none in actual deployment.

00:21:23.943 --> 00:21:26.503
Large amounts of radio communication are required.

00:21:27.043 --> 00:21:31.623
And radio is the Achilles heel of drone warfare. It can be jammed or at least

00:21:31.623 --> 00:21:35.303
detected and used to trace the origin of a signal and locate where the opponent

00:21:35.303 --> 00:21:37.983
is launching from. This means both sides are trying.

00:21:47.643 --> 00:21:51.143
Und da ist natürlich die Koordination von Drohnen untereinander,

00:21:51.223 --> 00:21:55.543
die dann sozusagen ganze Zeit technisch einen Chatter haben, ein schwieriges Ding.

00:21:56.791 --> 00:22:03.831
So, everyone is working on it and in my view, this kind of scenario is clearly a nightmare scenario.

00:22:04.271 --> 00:22:08.711
The idea that machines could one day independently decide to kill people is

00:22:08.711 --> 00:22:10.951
something I personally find deeply problematic.

00:22:11.491 --> 00:22:17.391
But the reality is more complicated than what you might imagine in a lab or in theory.

00:22:17.791 --> 00:22:19.571
That was made very clear again recently.

00:22:20.671 --> 00:22:24.991
Over the past few weeks, I noticed reporting about humanoid robots that have

00:22:24.991 --> 00:22:30.651
now arrived in Ukraine. These are Phantom MK1 robots, produced by a company

00:22:30.651 --> 00:22:34.791
that is described as a kind of American-German joint venture.

00:22:35.091 --> 00:22:38.011
These machines really do look like something out of Terminator.

00:22:38.331 --> 00:22:44.031
They are about 1.75 meters tall, black, and have an unsettling appearance.

00:22:44.191 --> 00:22:48.771
They are now in Ukraine and are being tested there for now.

00:22:48.931 --> 00:22:52.631
They are supposed to be used for supply missions, but in the future they may

00:22:52.631 --> 00:22:55.831
also be equipped to carry weapons. Und das ist dann, wenn es anfängt,

00:22:56.151 --> 00:23:00.111
wie etwas direkt aus einem Film von Science Fiction.

00:23:00.511 --> 00:23:06.011
Black humanoid-robots mit glücklichen Augen, die sich nach der Frontline bewegen,

00:23:06.171 --> 00:23:08.411
um die Kampf für Menschen zu bewegen.

00:23:08.771 --> 00:23:12.451
Ich fragte Gressel, ob das wirklich der Zukunft der Warfare ist,

00:23:12.851 --> 00:23:14.191
oder ob es mehr ein Show ist.

00:23:14.922 --> 00:23:20.362
Also humanoide Roboter halte ich zum Großteil für Spielerei ganz einfach.

00:23:20.722 --> 00:23:24.942
Nicht, weil ich sage, es wird nie Landroboter geben, die Infanterie versuchen

00:23:24.942 --> 00:23:27.002
werden, Infanterie zu ersetzen. Das wird es natürlich geben.

00:23:27.542 --> 00:23:30.682
Overall, I consider humanoid robots largely to be a gimmick.

00:23:30.882 --> 00:23:33.482
Not because I think there will never be ground robots attempting to replace

00:23:33.482 --> 00:23:35.042
infantry. Of course, there will be.

00:23:35.422 --> 00:23:38.042
But the question is, do they really need to look like humans?

00:23:38.302 --> 00:23:41.522
Like the biological form that evolved over hundreds of thousands of years as

00:23:41.522 --> 00:23:44.862
a kind of hairless ape? Wenn ich nur in der Battlefield-Effekt habe,

00:23:44.962 --> 00:23:48.482
dann würde ich sagen, dass ich nur ein Weapon-System habe, ich nicht eine Human-Shape habe.

00:23:48.602 --> 00:23:51.642
Ein Flatt-Track-Vehicle mit der Batterie-Mounted-Low und ein Arm,

00:23:51.642 --> 00:23:54.062
vielleicht eine Roboter- oder Hydraulik-Arm, das kann ein Weapon haben,

00:23:54.142 --> 00:23:55.382
hat eine viel größere Target gemacht.

00:23:55.642 --> 00:23:58.402
Its Cross-Sectional-Area ist viel größer als das von einem Human-Being.

00:23:58.582 --> 00:24:01.002
Es kann auch möglicherweise überlegen, mit höheren Ground-Pressure und mehr

00:24:01.002 --> 00:24:02.662
Stabilität als ein Walking-Humanoid-Robot.

00:24:02.822 --> 00:24:05.702
So, die Frage ist, wenn ich eine bestimmte Menge Batterie habe,

00:24:06.042 --> 00:24:07.542
wie viel ist eigentlich nur für Lokomotionen?

00:24:08.142 --> 00:24:10.902
Weil ich mich auf einen Weg zu machen, dass man zwei Legen kann.

00:24:10.902 --> 00:24:11.942
Will probably have their place,

00:24:12.082 --> 00:24:14.782
especially in civilian applications like care work or service roles.

00:24:15.102 --> 00:24:18.142
Because many environments, like cities or our homes, are designed for humans.

00:24:18.442 --> 00:24:21.842
They are built for us to live in. Kitchens, bathrooms, everything is arranged for human use.

00:24:22.342 --> 00:24:25.902
In that context, a humanoid robot makes sense. For example, helping elderly

00:24:25.902 --> 00:24:28.702
people clean their kitchen, where it cannot just stay 30 centimeters off the ground.

00:24:28.982 --> 00:24:31.382
But if the task is simply to bring a machine gun into a firing position,

00:24:31.542 --> 00:24:36.062
then a low-profile robot that effectively sticks to the ground is actually a very good solution.

00:24:36.482 --> 00:24:39.362
So, I think humanoid robots are one possible development path.

00:24:39.362 --> 00:24:42.782
But in the military domain, we will likely see highly specialized machines for

00:24:42.782 --> 00:24:46.442
specific applications rather than human-shaped robots taking over the battlefield.

00:24:47.702 --> 00:24:50.162
Aber wenn ich aber eigentlich nur ein Maschinengebär in die Stellung bringen

00:24:50.162 --> 00:24:53.482
soll, dann ist ein Roboter, der eigentlich 30 cm über den Boden klebt,

00:24:53.522 --> 00:24:56.202
eigentlich eine ganz gute Sache. Aber da ist da unten wo hingehört.

00:24:57.362 --> 00:25:01.482
Also da denke ich, ist das natürlich eine Entwicklungsvariante,

00:25:01.622 --> 00:25:07.302
aber da werden sich spezialisierte Maschinen für die jeweilige Anwendung auftun.

00:25:08.197 --> 00:25:13.297
Er sagt sehr clearly, dass er das nicht realistisch ist, dass wir es in den

00:25:13.297 --> 00:25:16.037
Terminator-Filmen sehen, um die Roboter-Filmen zu kämpfen.

00:25:16.917 --> 00:25:20.217
In anderen Worten, er nimmt uns aus der Terminator-Illusion.

00:25:20.637 --> 00:25:25.017
Natürlich, Ground Roboter werden immer weiterentwickeln, und sie werden bestimmte

00:25:25.017 --> 00:25:28.817
Tasche verwendet werden, aber sie müssen nicht wie Humans.

00:25:29.177 --> 00:25:33.337
In fact, aus einem Militär-Perspektiv, es macht viel mehr Sinn für sie zu sein,

00:25:33.337 --> 00:25:40.177
Small, flat, and difficult to hit, rather than humanoid robot soldiers from science fiction.

00:25:40.657 --> 00:25:43.777
When you talk to drone pilots, engineers, and military personnel,

00:25:44.137 --> 00:25:47.797
you quickly get the impression that the future belongs entirely to drones.

00:25:48.097 --> 00:25:51.477
It can start to seem as if artillery, tanks,

00:25:51.737 --> 00:25:57.437
and fighter jets might be relics of the past, and that we are witnessing a technological

00:25:57.437 --> 00:26:03.117
revolution similar to the First World War, when tanks suddenly appeared on the battlefield.

00:26:03.337 --> 00:26:07.517
Und als die Kavail, mit dem Horsen, plötzlich aus der Kriegsgeschehen,

00:26:07.517 --> 00:26:11.877
obwohl es noch existierte in der ersten Weltwahrer und in der ersten Weltwahrer,

00:26:11.877 --> 00:26:16.257
man könnte denken, dass die Technologie komplett verletzt werden, diese alten Systeme.

00:26:16.657 --> 00:26:19.357
Aber Gressel nicht glaubt das.

00:26:21.531 --> 00:26:25.331
Mechanisierte Kräfte werden zwar eingesetzt und sie haben noch ihren Kampfwert,

00:26:25.411 --> 00:26:30.551
aber sie können natürlich nur in den Räumen agieren, die sozusagen die neuen

00:26:30.551 --> 00:26:32.331
Kräfte, also Drohnen, Elektronische Kampfhörungen und schaffen.

00:26:32.331 --> 00:26:35.271
Mechanisierte Kräfte sind jetzt noch benutzt, und sie haben noch einen Kampfwert,

00:26:35.531 --> 00:26:38.811
aber sie können nur in den Spaces, die für sie die neue Systeme erzeugen werden,

00:26:38.811 --> 00:26:38.931
wie sie nur in den Spaces, die für sie für sie sind.

00:26:39.011 --> 00:26:41.931
Drones, Elektronik-Warfare und related capabilities.

00:26:42.471 --> 00:26:45.371
Without Dronesupport, organisieren ein Attack oder sogar eine Defense ist eine

00:26:45.371 --> 00:26:48.551
Suicide-Mission, und dieses Entwicklung wird nicht beendet. Es ist nicht so,

00:26:48.571 --> 00:26:49.591
als ob die Drones einfach nicht mehr so verändern.

00:26:49.711 --> 00:26:51.991
Die Technologie ist zu mitten für das. In der Weise, Drones,

00:26:52.091 --> 00:26:54.151
wie wir sie heute sehen, sind auch ein Produkt der Digital Revolution.

00:26:54.471 --> 00:26:57.271
Wir können das in unsere Smartphones sehen. Wie die Computing-Pohre im Großen.

00:26:57.451 --> 00:26:59.851
Wie die Miniaturizeiungssysteme und Kamera Qualität haben verhaut.

00:27:00.231 --> 00:27:02.271
Heute gibt es die Smartphones, die Sieben Kameras produzieren,

00:27:02.491 --> 00:27:05.491
die Bilder zu digitalen SLR Cameras aus der 2000en. Das zeigt,

00:27:05.531 --> 00:27:07.391
wie viel alles aufgerufen und in die Performance verbessert.

00:27:07.631 --> 00:27:12.251
Und diese Miniaturization- – die Verzweckungskosten und Batterie- – ist genau

00:27:12.251 --> 00:27:14.531
das das was für die Möglichkeit, diese Technologie zu vermitteln.

00:27:14.551 --> 00:27:17.951
Das gleiche ist an den Drones. This is not going away, and it's not going backward.

00:27:18.191 --> 00:27:21.151
At the moment, the side that is winning is the one that combines conventional

00:27:21.151 --> 00:27:24.111
firepower with drones and uses drones in a way that opens up opportunities for

00:27:24.111 --> 00:27:26.151
conventional forces to engage and eliminate the enemy.

00:27:26.371 --> 00:27:29.251
The question of when and whether drones will completely replace other weapons

00:27:29.251 --> 00:27:32.471
systems is, in my view, one that will unfold gradually over a long period of

00:27:32.471 --> 00:27:34.211
time, much more slowly than many people imagine.

00:27:34.211 --> 00:27:38.531
Konventionelle Feuerkraft mit eben diesen Drohnen verbindet und die Drohnen

00:27:38.531 --> 00:27:43.691
so nutzt, dass sie den konventionellen Streitkräften auch Ansatzmöglichkeiten

00:27:43.691 --> 00:27:45.611
kriegen, den Feind zu killen.

00:27:45.671 --> 00:27:49.471
Wahnsinnig. und wo Drohnen vollständig andere Waffensysteme ersetzen.

00:27:49.591 --> 00:27:54.911
Ich glaube, dass das selber wird ein gradueller und langsamerer Prozess werden,

00:27:55.171 --> 00:27:57.091
als wir uns das vorstellen haben.

00:27:58.196 --> 00:28:03.216
Ja, das ist sicherlich ein wichtiges Konterargument zu all den technologischen Projekten.

00:28:03.456 --> 00:28:07.096
Wie Gressel sagt, Drones nicht verändern die konventionelle Weapons zu verändern.

00:28:07.456 --> 00:28:11.996
Aber ohne Drones, Tanks und Artillerie operativen sind heute extrem vultuertig.

00:28:12.156 --> 00:28:15.396
Drones sind ein Produkt der digitalen Revolution.

00:28:16.056 --> 00:28:22.176
Und sie werden nicht mehr mehr verändern, als die Maschinen oder Artillerie

00:28:22.176 --> 00:28:26.876
nach der ersten Weltkrieg. So, instead of a single robot army,

00:28:27.356 --> 00:28:31.036
what we will likely see in the near future are mixed formations.

00:28:31.496 --> 00:28:37.156
Artillery, infantry fighting vehicles, infantry and drones working together.

00:28:37.696 --> 00:28:41.616
Drones open up space for these units, conduct reconnaissance,

00:28:42.136 --> 00:28:46.196
strike targets deep in enemy territory, carry out evacuation missions,

00:28:46.596 --> 00:28:52.696
deliver supplies, and are used for a wide range of tasks as a complement to

00:28:52.696 --> 00:28:57.496
traditional weapon systems that have defined warfare up to the Ukraine war.

00:28:58.016 --> 00:29:01.256
When I think back on this episode, two images stand out.

00:29:01.476 --> 00:29:06.196
One is the officer describing how they once placed a wounded soldier onto a

00:29:06.196 --> 00:29:10.736
ground drone in minus 15 degrees Celsius, sending it 16 kilometers through the

00:29:10.736 --> 00:29:15.016
kill zone. Without that tracked vehicle, the man would simply have frozen to death.

00:29:15.596 --> 00:29:19.016
And beyond that, the ground robot ensured that his comrades did not have to

00:29:19.016 --> 00:29:22.896
risk their own lives to carry him out or be pulled away from their positions.

00:29:23.196 --> 00:29:26.696
In that sense, it is an extremely useful addition to the military arsenal.

00:29:27.036 --> 00:29:30.456
The other image is Gressel's view.

00:29:31.256 --> 00:29:36.476
Humanoid robots are largely a gimmick. What makes sense militarily is something

00:29:36.476 --> 00:29:38.096
small, flat and hard to hit.

00:29:38.096 --> 00:29:43.236
Four years after the beginning of the war in Ukraine, we are seeing things at

00:29:43.236 --> 00:29:47.016
the front that were almost unimaginable in 2022.

00:29:47.436 --> 00:29:51.836
When I first started reporting there, reconnaissance drones were used mainly

00:29:51.836 --> 00:29:54.196
to guide artillery and observe enemy movements.

00:29:54.496 --> 00:29:59.716
At that time, large mechanized formations with armored vehicles were still common.

00:30:00.564 --> 00:30:03.564
Das hat komplett verändert. Die Front hat sich stark stagniert.

00:30:03.884 --> 00:30:07.464
Es gibt kaum noch territoriale breakthroughs von eitheren Seite,

00:30:07.524 --> 00:30:09.424
weil die Infanterie gar nicht mehr kann.

00:30:10.264 --> 00:30:20.244
Large mechanized assaults mit Infanterie-fighting und Tanks sind quasi non-existent,

00:30:20.244 --> 00:30:25.184
weil sie, besonders bei den Russen, enden in disaster.

00:30:25.184 --> 00:30:30.604
As drones dominate the airspace, ground robots are now being mass-produced.

00:30:30.944 --> 00:30:36.844
Drone units exist as their own branch within the Ukrainian armed forces.

00:30:37.164 --> 00:30:40.364
And there is extensive experimentation with artificial intelligence.

00:30:40.804 --> 00:30:45.844
At the same time, artillery and infantry are still fighting over the same villages.

00:30:47.124 --> 00:30:50.404
And perhaps that is exactly the new reality of war.

00:30:50.504 --> 00:30:53.244
It is becoming more digital, but it remains brutally analog.

00:30:53.244 --> 00:30:59.084
Machines that save lives, machines that kill, and much of what is being tested

00:30:59.084 --> 00:31:00.904
here will not stay in Ukraine.

00:31:01.764 --> 00:31:09.724
Gressel says that without drone support, an attack today is essentially a suicide mission.

00:31:10.024 --> 00:31:16.144
I would add, without understanding this, every political decision is made in

00:31:16.144 --> 00:31:22.564
the dark. Und das ist etwas, was Soldaten und Engenheber mit in der Ukraine

00:31:22.564 --> 00:31:24.644
in der Ukraine wiederum beantworten.

00:31:25.204 --> 00:31:29.244
Sie sagen, wir müssen diese Technologie weiterentwickeln, weil der Krieg,

00:31:29.344 --> 00:31:32.984
Russland, das auch macht, und zu schlafen ist nicht eine Option.

00:31:33.364 --> 00:31:36.084
Aber gleichzeitig hoffen sie auch, dass wir die Technologie weiterentwickeln.

00:31:36.960 --> 00:31:42.460
Global politics will finally set some boundaries,

00:31:42.700 --> 00:31:47.000
that guardrails will be put in place and that at some point a stop button will

00:31:47.000 --> 00:31:51.680
be pressed globally before we enter a development that can no longer be controlled

00:31:51.680 --> 00:31:54.280
and where no one knows where it might ultimately lead.

00:31:54.620 --> 00:31:57.760
