From basement to battlefield: Ukrainian startups create low-cost robots to fight Russia
An ecosystem of laboratories in hundreds of secret workshops is leveraging innovation to create a robot army that Ukraine hopes will kill Russian troops and save its own wounded soldiers and civilians.
Defense startups across Ukraine — about 250 according to industry estimates — are creating the killing machines at secret locations that typically look like rural car repair shops.

Amazing cost savings. It may take some time before we can ascertain battlefield effectiveness. I'm betting they will do so.
