Details: The minister reported that the outcome depends on the progress in drone development. Fedorov predicts that the first prototypes of artificial intelligence drones in small numbers could appear on the battlefield by the end of 2024.

However, the official says, it is currently impossible to say who is winning the technological war.

Quote: "However, it is not yet possible to say who is winning the technological war – in some areas we are winning, in others the Russians are surpassing us."
