Ukraine just turned a Swedish artillery shell into a precision drone weapon.
And it’s changing modern warfare. The weapon is the BONUS 155 mm smart shell.
Developed by Sweden and France to hunt tanks autonomously.
It contains two sensor-guided submunitions that:
• Scan the ground with IR + laser • Identify armored vehicles • Attack from above — where armor is weakest

It’s one node in a network:
Sensors → Targeting → Data links → Command → Weapons → Intercept.
Break one link — and the whole system weakens.
