I’m sort of glad it’s the evil Russians... I thought it would be US who was first to introduce robotic terminators.
Program them not to hurt people, and all wars are Bot vs Bot and I’m ok with this. Could be kinda cool. Good fun. It would totally blow away world cup.
Oh,, and 10 uninterrupted hours of 50 cal fire? Dude,, seriously.
Do you see anywhere on that machine that 10 HOURS of 50 cal ammo could sit? Along with a battery pack or even fuel tank that would last a week?

Peter W Singer, sounds familiar, he’s been discussed here. Must have talked with Al Gore about his ‘open-source’ website, snicker. And those toys are far from invulnerable.

Ok, first Skynet reference.
In WW2 the Russians and the Germans had remotely controlled and very small vehicles. They didn’t make much of a showing on the battlefield.
