Unmanned combat aerial vehicles, or attack drones, have become a common feature of the modern battlefield.

Russia has deployed them to terrorise civilians in Ukraine and disable essential infrastructure, and Ukraine has also relied heavily on drones for attack, reconnaissance and surveillance. But these aren’t the only ‘killer robots’ that armies are utalising.
Josh Toussaint-Strauss explores how the weaponisation of general purpose robots and the developments of a wider array of advanced mobile robotics and AI powered machine is changing the dynamics of modern warfare in ways that has prompted leading robotics companies and the UN to raise the alarm and call for greater restrictions.

Chopped up military propagation. Dont fight the current fore front with china and prove military supremacy including robotic sam and sas systems but poibt it at russia so no confusion settles in on whats going on out there…
if you look hard enough online, you will find footage of soldiers getting killed by these drones. Its scary af
How to solve the Ameircas problem, the T-700, perfect police units,
Armageddon needed neutralizes neutral now I think
Not lawnmower, german hardware!!!
Just make many and flying no need to go metal gear and put legs on everything.
There are obvious and clear advantages including far less casualties for the side utilising this technology, but it will always be hard to eliminate collateral damage. Just drpends which side you’re on.
World is finished
SkyNet is comming.
Work's like doodlebug (weapons of fear)
Gives new meaning to, “He who has the most toys in the end, wins.”
I find that 'open' letter urging countries not to weaponize household drones curious. Maybe it is driven by a lofty goal of eliminating wars-something we'd all like to see happen but the true reason is unknown. All I know is I would much rather see an army of drones battling it out and getting destroyed than humans getting destroyed so I say keep it going developers!
At NO TIME IN HISTORY have humans voluntarily and unanimously abandoned a technology that could be weaponized.
"É complicado!" ( It's Complicated!). Nós brasileiros, às vezes, usamos essa expressão ( É complicado) quando não estamos interessado no assunto, mas queremos ser educado. Normalmente na fila da padaria ou na parada de ônibus… 🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂🤷♂
Sky-net comes close .
Shahed drone
What folks are missing here, is that it is entirely possible huge armies of small cheap drones will saturate a battlefield as is slowly becoming evident in Ukraine, making it very difficult or impossible to win.
No soldier will want to serve on the front because death will be assured. Just watch some videos coming out of trenches where infantry being decimated by tiny drones with no defense. It's crazy. So a future war can be fought almost entirely by remote control with no loss of life and may even not be won if there is an unlimited supply of these things on both sides. Thus when belligerents have massive drone armies, they could become the mechanism of detente and possibly even forced peace, similar to what nuclear weapons do for avoiding nuclear war, because of mutually assured destruction (MAD).
Change the thumbnail or you will be reported for misinformation.
This is why tyrants of the world are getting bold and stating their plans publicly, this is their contingency… evil is prevailing.
People are literally funding our governments to create the tools of our own demise.
Yes but if Makarov gets mad then close your airports 😂
Lawnmower engine on plastic plane $20000.
Wow
Lassie…?
Nice. Now we can discover China.
Black Mirror told us
03:10 wondering if it hurt
China and Russia copying American tech should be a warning to US tech companies. Your tech WILL be used. You have a choice of who to support.
Okay, I learned this from a Marine buddy of mine. Just grab a box, line the inside with tin foil, hide in it, and sneak behind the robot, Metal Gear style.
wkwkwkwkwk
icc jail president putin ? lol so funny
wkwkwkkwk
The dog drone with the gun is so funny and it has terrible recoil compensation.
And yet there will always be trench war…
The Future is Black
What can possibly go wrong…
As someone who plays COD, hearing a ship named the Admiral Makarov made me laugh out loud
"begun, the clone war has."
This thumbnail looks Iike a exact copy of what I Did a Thing made
All war, is the cull of the poor, for the profit & pleasure of the rich
This and not being able to legally smoke are pretty much the two things deterring me from joining
Future generations will look back at the model in the thumbnail and laugh that it is a ‘just’ a robot with a ‘normal’ gun on top, rather than incorporated into the form as they may be used to.
Look up "Unlimited UAV" here on YouTube, scary stuff
why always abuse boston dynamics for thumbnails ?
I thought the future was _women_. looks like we got that one wrong…
Messing with the most powerful nuclear country..
Drones don't take prisoners.
We are f%ed
EMPs are coming
These machine should smart and precisely enough to aim enemy weapon without killing a single soul, only to disarm enemy. That's the vision of future wars, no kills, only disarm.
If the world cut military spending in half and put it all into a space budget, we'd have a trillion dollars a year put towards making humans multi-planetary and learning about the universe we live in.
