Uncrewed Armed Vehicles and Missiles in the Russian War Against Ukraine — •Jürgen Altmann — Experimentelle Physik III, TU Dortmund

In the Russian war against Ukraine uncrewed armed vehicles (mainly in the air, UAVs) and missiles (tactical, ballistic and cruise) are being employed at unprecedented levels by both sides. Commercial UAVs are being armed, and new armed UAV types are being developed. Imports from other countries play a significant role. Autonomous targeting seems to have begun. Russia has also used hypersonic missiles. In parallel, efforts for UAV and missile defence have increased. Many armed forces are studying the war and draw conclusions for their own armaments. The talk will give an overview of various systems and their properties, including imported types, and will discuss effects on international security.

Keywords: UAV; Missile; Ukraine; Russia
