Robots on the frontline: Is Ukraine now winning the war?

?Listen to The World With Richard Engel And Yalda Hakim on your podcast app?

Fully automated frontlines? Robots on the battlefield? Drones fighting drones?

The Ukraine war has been transformed from an old-fashioned trench war to a modern one in a matter of years. On this episode of the podcast, Richard talks to Professor Phillips O'Brien, a defence expert and head of international relations at St Andrews University and an expert on the Ukraine war.

He tells Richard how Ukraine's frontlines have developed with the use of tech and how it is now able to strike deep into the heart of Russia.

Four years into the war, has the tide now turned in Ukraine's favour? Professor O'Brien gives Richard his assessment.

Yalda also discusses Sky News' exclusive reporting in Minab, Iran. International affairs editor Dominic Waghorn is at the site of an alleged US strike on a primary school which left more than 150 people dead, most of them children, on the first day of the US-Israeli war on Iran.
