Germany on Monday said that it was delivering 4,000 AI-guided drones to Ukraine, even as it has refused to send Kyiv the long-range Taurus missile system.
Berlin has been the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia's invasion.
Defence Minister Boris Pistorius told reporters at an event in Bavaria that the drones being provided "were directed and supported by artificial intelligence" and that they could "take out the enemy's electronic drone defences".
The drones "can be delivered very quickly" and could be "deployed 30-40 kilometres (19-25 miles) behind the front line and hit combat posts,logistics hubs among other targets", Pistorius said.
