The commander of Ukraine's drone forces, Robert Brovdi, has warned that humanity is "losing control" over artificial intelligence in warfare, describing autonomous drones as the "plague of the third millennium". In a wide-ranging and exclusive interview with The Telegraph, Mr Brovdi detailed how Ukrainian drone operations have brought the war to Russian soil, effectively destroying the concept of a "safe rear" across the European part of Russia. He warned that Vladimir Putin is preparing to throw hundreds of thousands of new, untrained troops - which he described as "biomaterial" and "stewed meat" - into the grinder of the frontline by the end of 2026. Brovdi also directed fierce criticism at NATO, warning that "limited flexibility" and the presence of political "Orbans" within the alliance are severely hindering Europe's ability to deter Russian aggression. Speaking directly to the UK, he urged the government to press ahead with the creation of a dedicated Unmanned Systems Force
