   >Ukraine is currently working to produce 1 million military drones each year, some of which would be specially designed to neutralize armored military vehicles. To this end, the Ukrainian military industry has copied one of Russia’s most successful weapons, the ZALA Lancet anti-tank drone.
   
   >The official name of the device, dubbed “Ukrolancet” on social media, is not yet known, but it is known that series production started in February this year, that it will be equipped with a 3-kilogram warhead and feature a range of 100 kilometers. The drone can be used to destroy both static and moving targets and has already been used in live operations against a Russian air defense system.
   
   >Russia is reportedly having difficulty manufacturing these drones because they use U.S.-made circuit boards from NVIDIA and AMD. The price of the drones is estimated at around $35,000.

     @Humpleupagus @anonaccount They're using the GPU cores on the Jetson for their machine vision algorithms to identify, acquire, and track targets.
