Eric B. Villard: 乌克兰战争不同于以往任何战争,可以通过实时视频资料进行追踪和分析,这使得我们可以近乎实时地观察战争的进程。大量的来自前线的GoPro视角的视频资料,真实记录了战争的残酷和细节,为我们提供了宝贵的资料。 Simon Adler: 廉价的商用无人机在乌克兰战争中被大量使用,发挥了关键作用。这些无人机为乌克兰士兵提供了战场的实时高清画面,极大地提升了战场态势感知能力,使得他们能够发现隐藏的俄军,并引导炮火精准打击。乌克兰志愿者将商用无人机改装成小型炸弹,用于攻击俄军目标,进一步提升了作战效率。 Anna Kalyusna: 俄罗斯也开始大量使用无人机,对乌克兰构成威胁。尽管乌克兰士兵能够通过无人机清晰地看到俄军士兵,甚至看到他们被攻击时的表情,但这并没有改变乌克兰士兵对俄军的态度,他们仍然视俄军为侵略者,并且对他们充满仇恨。 Samuel Bendet: 人工智能技术在无人机上的应用,可能会对未来的战争产生重大影响。乌克兰对无人机技术的依赖,以及他们对保持无人机优势的渴望,预示着未来战争中人工智能技术将发挥越来越重要的作用。 Patrick Donahoe: 未来无人机群攻击技术的发展,可能会使战争更加自动化和无人化。无人机群的出现,将对传统的作战方式带来巨大的挑战,需要我们重新思考和制定新的作战策略。 Latif Nasser: 乌克兰战争中,大量来自前线的GoPro视角的视频资料,真实记录了战争的残酷和细节。这些视频资料虽然令人不安,但却为我们提供了对战争的深刻理解。无人机技术改变了战争的作战方式,也改变了士兵的作战体验,使得士兵能够更清晰地看到敌人,并对战争有更直观的感受。在过去的战争中,士兵很少能直接看到敌人,而无人机技术改变了这一点。无人机操作员通过频繁的观察,能够识别出敌方士兵的特征,甚至能看到他们的日常生活,这种近距离的观察改变了战争的体验。

Back in February of 2022, anyone who knew anything thought the War in Ukraine would be over in a few weeks. Russia simply had more bodies to fight with and more steel to kill with.Fast-forward to today, however, and the war is anything but over. Ukraine has held and regained territory with shocking resilience. Stranger still, a small, cheap gadget that up until now was little more than a toy, has been central to their success.Today on Radiolab, we track the deployment of this weapon and wonder what happens when you have to look your enemy in the eye before you pull the trigger. *Special thanks to *Anna Kaliusna and her team for her footage from the frontline, Yulia Tarisuk for her help with all things Ukrainian language related. And Hanna Rose Shell for her helping us understand the history of camouflage.
