Russian authorities seized 13 AI‑powered drones last week that had been smuggled into the country by Ukrainian intelligence.
The drones were intended to target a military airfield in the southern Rostov Region.
The seizure highlights the covert operations occurring between the two sides and underscores the growing use of advanced unmanned systems in contemporary conflict.
Details on the drones’ specifications and the scope of the planned attack remain undisclosed, but the incident signals increased security measures in the region.
