Next year will be the year of low-cost cruise missiles." Former deputy defense minister and head of defense projects, Kateryna Chornogorenko, told Babel how war is changing. Ukraine's main challenge in the field of cruise missiles is the localization of engines and components, and the basis of the concept is to cause maximum damage to the enemy at minimum costs. Separately, she noted the space sector: since the space forces of the Russian Federation number almost 200,000 people, Ukraine should also develop this sector and attract private companies through tenders. She also called the development of humanoid robots a longer-term strategy. Chornogorenko emphasized that perhaps the first attacks with robots will be carried out as follows: there will be a human commander and several accompanying robots, which in the future will repeat the movements of the operator using joysticks.
