Russia’s Defense Minister Andrei Belousov emphasized the importance of developing artificial intelligence, robots, and drones for Moscow’s victory in its ongoing confrontation with the West. Belousov outlined four conditions for success in modern military conflicts, including advanced weaponry, personnel training, management systems leveraging AI, and new tactical methods incorporating drones and robots.
During the opening of Russia’s flagship military forum, Army-2024, Belousov reiterated that Russia invaded Ukraine in response to the US and its allies’ desire to maintain dominance. The annual military forum, held outside Moscow, serves as a platform to showcase Russia’s military capabilities.
Belousov’s predecessor, Sergei Shoigu, used last year’s forum to highlight Russia’s military superiority over its Western counterparts. Despite his dismissal by President Putin, Russia continues to push for technological advancements in defense systems.
