Ukraine's death-dealing robots which have captured Russian positions
and single-handedly defended key positions for more than a month
while blasting Putin's forces with .50-calibre machine guns

Ukrainian forces have captured a Russian position using only
armed robots and drones, marking a rapid shift toward automated
combat that reduces human casualties

President Volodymyr Zelensky revealed earlier this week that
Putin's soldiers had surrendered without any Ukrainian soldiers
being put in danger.

'For the first time in the history of this war, an enemy position
was taken exclusively by unmanned systems – ground systems and
drones,' he said in a speech marking Ukrainian Gunsmith Day.

'The occupiers surrendered, and the operation was carried out
without infantry and without losses on our side.'

These unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) are used on the battlefield
for assault operations, to evacuate wounded troops and to detect
and neutralise mines.

Zelensky said over 22,000 missions have been carried out over the
last three months using robot systems

. . .

Ukraine has, by necessity, been at the cutting edge
of modern warfare techniques.

However these "robots" - they seem to be small
remote-operated 'tanks' ... not autonomous
kill-bots programmed with a mission.

Those will come NEXT year ......

China allegedly already has such things, they are
well ahead in 'AI'. "Seek Enemy - KILL Enemy"
machines.
