The truck itself was filled with explosives intended to destroy the robotic gun, but the force of the blast flung the equipment out of the truck intact, leaving evidence of the weapon...
***Overall mission failure, even though the targeted person was assassinated.
Psyop... If you believe that was accidental... well... I don’t. How paranoid would you be if there were AI killer robots after you? How much would that hamper your capabilities?
Interesting.
A couple of years ago, I was looking at late night movies on the TV and there was a movie where the guy was supposed to get assassinated by a gun which operated in exactly this manner.
I can’t remember the movie title.
But the hero figured out what was supposed to take place and saved the target just in time.
The main difference in the movie and this real life story is that in the movie the vehicle was a station wagon, or as we call them today, a SUV.
Perhaps some of you older people have noticed that almost everything happening today is yesterday’s science fiction.
