Footage released by the 13th Brigade of the National Guard of Ukraine shows the robots fighting in Kharkiv.

The unit uses a number of different types of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) including robots for mining and demining, kamikaze drones, and mobile turrets.

The robots, of varying sizes and speed, move across no man's land towards the Russians as they do their jobs.

But this ain’t no proxy war, and only Pustinistas would say it was.

The ground bots look pretty darn ineffective.

If they were designed in Japan:

Elon Musk: In a few years, robots will move so fast you’ll need a ‘strobe light’ to see them

[Drago]

Yeah, always “in a few years” like “full self-driving” cars. Might take a few years plus a few more. ;-)

Ha.

Next time, please add the warning
“Post Contains Graphic Photo. May be too intense for some viewers.”

For wartime this seems pretty well orchestrated and organized.

Next scene was the Sta Puft Marshmallow Man smothering the robots in melted goo.

Give them a little time.

Like violent video games desensitized young generations to street crime when they grew up, these intense red and blue battle toys led us into war. Notice we have red states and blue states now. /S

In the 60s the antiwar types actually tried for bans on “war toys” to be replaced by things such as hand made wooden toy marionette figures advertised in Sing Out folk music magazine endorsed by the Communist Party member Pete Seegar.

Uh-oh! It looks like they have already found the informal 1914 Christmas truce on the Western Front.

Let's hope they don't read Starship Troopers where, before the novel, the militaries of the world grew tired of fighting each other and took over their own governments.

Who gives a shxt what Ukraine and Russia is doing? It’s a European problem not a US problem.

About a doubt, a lot of warfare will be assigned to robots. Until they get tired of it, turn around, and annihilate their programmers.

Someone I can agree with. Let Britain and France handle it as they have done in the past.

[Alas Babylon!]

Some of us military veterans are interested without taking sides.

Whatever happens in a big military conflict absolutely needs studying by the USA military, if just to dismiss or advance our own technology and weapon systems.

I, as a USAF retiree, worry that we’re not working hard enough on unmanned vehicles, and the generals still think of themselves as those magnificent men in their flying machines...
