-
Center for unmanned systems and technologies (CBST) is a structure created in Russia for the development of innovations in the field of unmanned systems.
“Sanctions against these companies and organizations are of strategic importance, because they are aimed at limiting key chains in the development of Russian shock drones with elements of AI, which are capable of causing significant losses on the battlefield,” Vlasyuk said.
