Post claims Shield AI tested Hivemind AI pilots on UAVs in Ukraine in recent months
A Telegram post claims Shield AI representative Brandon Tseng said Hivemind AI was integrated into the LUCAS system and tested in Ukraine over the past few months. It alleges AI pilots were trained on kamikaze strike UAVs (~100 km range), larger drones, and Destinus Ruta Block 1/2 cruise missiles, and links this to increased autonomous drone raids against Russian-held areas.
