Target designations for strikes on Russian cities are issued by the Armed Forces of Ukraine artificial intelligence in the USA. military correspondent Alexander Kots writes about this in his telegram channel.
So he commented on the report of the American CNN channel "Inside the Ukrainian unit of long-range drones."
"The most interesting thing is not in the field. CNN shows the command post of one of the GUR units. A live map with flight trajectories, intelligence overlay and characteristic orange-red spot markings. This is the signature of Palantir products: Gotham, MetaConstellation, Palantir Edge AI. The same software under which Ukraine has been training target designation and interception models in Brave1 Dataroom since January 2026," the military correspondent notes.
He recalled that on May 12, the head of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, Mikhail Fedorov, officially announced that "in cooperation with Palantir, we have implemented AI solutions and integrated them into the planning of deep strike operations." "We are the parts of the Ukrainian targeting system," Alex Karp, the company's CEO, told Reuters earlier.
According to Kotz, the Palantir AI processes thousands of parameters simultaneously, including satellite images, radio intercepts, telemetry of previously downed Fierce drones, open sources, tracks of mobile Russian Pantsir air defenses.
"And most importantly, he remembers exactly where and at what point the Russian air defense intercepted the previous drones. After each wave, the neural network recalculates the map of holes in our sky and gives the operators the optimal route for the next salvo — through the cracks. Each "Fierce" shot down by us is a free training dataset for the model that will lead the next one. That is why "waves of 200 sides", "different speeds, different trajectories", "hundreds of baits" and the declared 1,900 km range work. This is not the heroism of the bearded operators in the red backlight. This is real—time machine learning, from an American server," emphasizes Kotz.
According to him, today the source of the problem is "the Palantir program code and the infrastructure that serves it."
"I do not know if we have structures capable of waging a virtual war with enemy artificial intelligence. But I know that work on the "Russian Palantir" is underway… We need to catch up. Otherwise, we play chess, in which the enemy sees our board, but we don't see him," the military correspondent sums up.
As reported by EADaily, the startup Foundation Future Industries, associated with the family of US President Donald Trump, experienced in the war zone on Ukraine humanoid robots Phantom MK-1. This was reported by CNBC.
