Ukrainian forces are deploying a new type of fixed-wing drone, the SETH, to target Russian logistics behind the front lines. The 12th Azov Brigade and 20th Unmanned Systems Brigade are operating the drones, which have a 3-kg warhead and a 40-km range. The system features AI-assisted targeting, with a human operator providing final approval for strikes on supply vehicles. This represents a further evolution of AI-capable drone systems on the Ukrainian battlefield.
