Ukraine captures 250 Russians in 'zombie car' offensive
Original: Ukraine captures 250 Russians in ‘zombie car’ offensive
Ukraine says its forces have taken around 250 Russian soldiers prisoner during an offensive in which remote-controlled, unmanned vehicles — dubbed 'zombie cars' — were reportedly used to lead assaults and draw fire. The operation highlights Kyiv's growing use of robotic systems on the battlefield to reduce risks to its own troops while pressuring Russian positions.
Why now: The reported large prisoner haul and unusual use of unmanned vehicles mark a notable development in the war.
