Germany to give Ukraine new Mini-Taurus AI drones - Bild

Germany is preparing to provide Ukraine with new technological support in times of war. The German company Helsing will supply Ukraine with 4,000 artificial intelligence drones.

This was reported by RBC-Ukraine with reference to Bild.

These drones, nicknamed Mini-Taurus, will be equipped with modern systems that make them virtually invulnerable to Russian electronic warfare systems and GPS interference.

German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed the delivery of drones to Ukraine.

According to insiders, several hundred of these drones will be delivered monthly starting in December. Several samples are currently being tested in eastern Ukraine in real combat conditions.

The Mini-Taurus is capable of analyzing the terrain and determining its location even in difficult weather conditions or destroyed infrastructure. This allows the drone to continue its mission even in the event of a radio signal loss, which significantly increases the accuracy of the strike.

The Mini-Taurus has a flight range four times longer than standard Ukrainian kamikaze drones, and at the same time costs significantly less than foreign counterparts. Although Bild does not disclose the exact cost, it is known that the American Switchblade 600 costs about 100,000 euros and the Russian Zala Lancet costs 35,000 euros.

Pistorius emphasized that Ukraine will be able to effectively use these drones against key Russian military targets, such as command posts and logistics centers. In the future, Germany, according to the minister, may consider introducing similar technologies in its Bundeswehr.
