Auterion’s “strike kits” — miniature computers known as Skynode that run the company’s software and include a camera and radio — can transform manually controlled drones into “AI-powered weapons systems” that cannot be jammed and can track a moving target from as far away as 1km, said Meier.

On the night of July 27, the Russian troops attacked Kharkiv and its suburbs with drones. There were fires, and there was damage, according to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine. Russia attacked the Kyivskyi district of Kharkiv with 10 drones.

Russia and Ukraine exchanged drone attacks, with five people dead in the strikes, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was optimistic about military progress.
