Ukraine said it took a Russian position using just drones and ground robots.

Zelenskyy said it was a wartime first, and no Ukrainian infantry was involved.

He said robots have done over 22,000 missions in three months, keeping many soldiers from harm.

    If it makes you feel any better, these are all being remote controlled.

    So while you’re off from your day job of piloting the robot that hunts down dissident Filipinos, some Filipino operator is driving the drone that bombs your car for its “Impeach President Newsom” bumper sticker.

    Something Something Just Like Communist China.

      Ukraine has started using some AI drones. Probably (my guess) with the AI set to “if you lose connection, try to hit any humans in this area”. So no, not necessarily.

        What could go wrong there?

          How so? If the Ukrainians has previously determined that the area contains no civilians, then how would it be different from firing an unguided missile at the same area.
