Ukrainian forces are utilizing a sophisticated artificial intelligence system to conduct large-scale strikes on Russian territory. The technology, developed by American company Palantir, enables the simultaneous operation of thousands of drones, identifying vulnerabilities in enemy defenses.
Access to the methods employed by Ukraine’s military intelligence unit reveals their strategy for launching kamikaze drone attacks on strategic targets deep within Russia. The centerpiece of their operations is the PRISMA system, which has become essential for planning and executing drone missions.
Operators now have software that allows them to manage thousands of drones in real-time. Command centers are equipped with screens displaying live maps, flight trajectories, and data processed by AI, while commanders, such as one identified by the call sign “Vector,” plan strikes on the fly.
The system transforms the chaos of aerial combat into a clear mathematical model, enabling attacks on targets previously deemed unreachable.
AI plays a crucial role in breaching Russian defenses. The system not only directs drones but also continuously learns from vast datasets within seconds.
The algorithms analyze the following parameters:
- Intercept points from previous waves of drones.
- Coverage areas of Russian radar systems.
- Flight paths that allow for evasion of anti-aircraft systems.
- Density of enemy fire in specific regions.
This real-time calculation of optimal routes allows subsequent drone groups to exploit newly identified gaps in defenses, significantly increasing the effectiveness of the attacks compared to traditional launches.
To ensure the resilience of their system, military intelligence has taken precautions. Russian forces are actively targeting command centers, but the software’s decentralized nature makes it nearly impossible to eliminate. The system is not tied to a single computer or location.
Operators from military intelligence explained to reporters:
- Multiple monitoring centers have been established.
- These are spread across dozens of different locations.
- Destroying one node does not halt overall operations.
This structure renders PRISMA elusive. Even if one command point is struck, other centers can immediately take over control of all drones.
Recently, Ukrainian defense units successfully targeted the Saratov oil refinery in the Volga region, which is part of the Rosneft company and supplies fuel to the occupying army. On the night of May 30, Ukrainian forces launched mass strikes on 23 military and logistical sites deep within enemy territory, resulting in significant damage to oil logistics elements in both Russia and occupied Crimea. Additionally, during this extensive nighttime operation, drone pilots collaborated with other units to destroy a training ground used by a Russian brigade implicated in atrocities in Bucha.
Ukrainian forces are leveraging an advanced AI system to enhance their drone strike capabilities against Russian targets. The PRISMA software allows for real-time management of thousands of drones, significantly improving attack effectiveness while ensuring resilience against enemy strikes.
