Russia is using AI-generated women to lure Ukrainian soldiers to their deaths. The fabricated profiles are one of three versions of a "honey trap" scheme Russia has escalated this year, and Ukraine's military counterintelligence has foiled more than 50 such attempts in 2026, said Artem Dekhtiarenko, spokesperson for the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).

In an army of more than a million, six soldiers have been killed this way, cases Dekhtiarenko called isolated but real, and Russia will spend months grooming a fake romance for a single one of them. It has revived a classic Soviet tactic, but not to compromise soldiers as the KGB once did. The aim now is to kill them and to spread the panic that makes the war feel uncontrolled.

The scheme runs in three versions

The first relies on technology. Artificial intelligence can now generate a woman's photos convincingly enough that, without close analysis, it is hard to tell whether she exists, Dekhtiarenko said.

The second uses real women living in occupied territory who work for Russia's services.

The third, and rarest, uses women on Ukrainian-held ground who agree to help and are eventually caught.

"There is an inevitability of punishment," Dekhtiarenko said, adding that the SBU and police will detain every agent, and the sentences are severe.

Russia plays the long game

The traps are not always quick. Russia wants to recruit, use a target, and move on quickly, Dekhtiarenko explained, but investigators have logged correspondence that spanned months of steady messaging before the strike. That patience is itself a warning to soldiers, he added, and reason to watch such contacts carefully.

The killings aim to sow panic

Asked why Russia would spend so much on a single soldier, Dekhtiarenko said the goal is psychological: to sow panic, destabilize, and make the situation look beyond Ukraine's control.

Ukrainian Armor has rolled out two new armored vehicles built to carry troops through a fight: a fast, lightly protected carrier and a heavier mine-resistant MRAP. The company showed the Saihak-1 and the Varta 3 at the MSPO 2026 defense expo in Poland, Oboronka reports.

The two vehicles cover opposite ends of the same need — moving soldiers safely — with a light scout at one end and a heavily armored MRAP at the other. Both are built to NATO's STANAG 4569 protection standards. They were displayed at MSPO, a major European defense fair in Kielce.

The Saihak-1 trades armor for speed

The first of them is the Saihak-1, the lighter of the two, its hull rated to the Ukrainian PZSA 3 ballistic standard that is enough to stop standard 5.45×39 and 7.62×39 rounds. It has STANAG Level 1 mine protection against anti-personnel mines and fragments.

A 240-horsepower diesel and four-wheel drive push it to 140 km/h, with an 80-liter tank giving a range of about 600 kilometers. It seats a crew of two and three more troops, and carries front and rear cameras, automatic fire suppression, run-flat tires, and climate control. The company says it doubles as a disaster- and accident-response vehicle.

The Varta 3 shrugs off mines

The another one is the Varta 3. Its hull meets the higher PZSA 6 standard, stopping armor-piercing 7.62×54 rounds, and its STANAG Level 3a/3b mine protection is rated to survive a blast of up to eight kilograms of explosive. A 326-horsepower diesel and automatic transmission move a vehicle weighing up to 14,800 kilograms at up to 100 km/h, carrying two crew and eight troops on mine-resistant seats.

It adds communications and navigation gear, video surveillance, air filtration, run-flat tires, and automatic fire suppression, and can mount either a rotating machine-gun platform or a remotely operated weapon station.
