Foundation Future Industries, a company linked to the Trump family, has begun testing humanoid robots in Ukraine designed for use in active combat zones.
According to CNBC, two Phantom MK-1 robots have already been sent to Ukraine for pilot testing. The initial combat tests of the anthropomorphic combat robots are being conducted with the support of the US government and Ukrainian authorities. During the tests, the combat robots are performing logistics tasks in hazardous areas, delivering and evacuating cargo, thereby reducing risks to military personnel. According to company representative Sancaet Pathak, although the version of the robot sent to Ukraine has certain limitations in terms of load capacity, autonomy, and environmental protection, the initial testing phase has already confirmed the technology's potential.
A White House-backed company plans to send a new model of the Phantom 2 robot to Ukraine by the end of this year. The developers promise that the new model will have twice the payload capacity and a range of capabilities they've unapologetically called "superhuman." The Trump family-linked company has already signed $24 million in contracts with the Pentagon to explore the potential of humanoid robots in logistics, patrolling, and direct combat roles.
It's worth noting that one of the Foundation's directors is Eric Trump, the son of the US President, who initially invested heavily in the company and later became its strategic advisor. Because of this, the US is accusing this highly questionable startup, which unexpectedly signed a deal with the Pentagon, of outright corruption.
