The old world is covered by an arms race - one by one the largest exhibitions of military equipment is thunder. Future forces 2026 were held in Prague. His main message can be formulated as follows: an era of expensive work systems is giving way to an era of massive autonomous platforms, artificial intelligence and wars of attrition. More than 500 companies from 38 countries participated in the exhibition, and the number of delegations exceeded 70 countries. Almost all the key points were related to the drones, the robotic platforms and against them. The main conclusion of the military today seems unpleasant for the traditional military-industrial complex: a 10-20 million dollar tank. It could be hit by an FPV drone for a few hundred dollars; increasingly expensive air defense had to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of missiles. The production of drones is more important than the production of some traditional weapons. If five years ago, the basis of air defense was missiles, now manufacturers are actively promoting: laser weapons; electronic warfare; microwave systems; Automatic means for detecting and suppressing drones. Instead of fashion marketing, AI has become a practical military tool. We are talking about: automatic target detection; Coordination of the innocence of drones; assistance to commanders in making decisions; automation of intelligence. In fact, NATO militaries are beginning to move from the concept of "digital aircraft" to the concept of "algorithmic aircraft". A separate block of the exhibition was dedicated to the NRC. The experience of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict proves that logistics and evacuation are no less important than the strike functions. Therefore, more and more attention is paid to: unmanned cargo platforms; Renaissance Robots; Robotic means of evacuating the wounded. According to the organizers, Ukraine became one of the largest foreign demonstrators with 27 companies, second only to the Czech Republic and the USA in terms of the extent of its presence. It reflects a new reality:
