An AI-powered turret developed through the Brave1 defense cluster is now operational in combat, according to Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. The system autonomously detects and tracks enemy drones, requiring only a single button press from an operator to confirm the strike. Crucially, the technology can intercept drones controlled via fiber-optic cables, which are invulnerable to electronic warfare (EW).
First utilized by the K-2 Brigade, the turrets are now active in over ten units across key sectors of the frontline.
