Summary
Ukraine’s 13th National Guard Brigade conducted its first all-robot assault, using ground and aerial drones to clear Russian positions in Kharkiv Oblast.
The operation involved surveillance, explosive, and gun-armed robots, demonstrating Ukraine’s advanced military robotics.
While robots excel in surveillance and attack, their limitations in holding ground, particularly against jamming and maintenance challenges, underscore the continued importance of human infantry.
Yeah, it’s happening.
A few years ago, I was tripping and had this idea that the future of war would essentially be conducted by nerds controlling robots in command centers, far away from the actual conflict.
The thing is, once the war was lost, the nerds would know that the enemy robots are going to come crashing through their walls at any moment to tear at their fleshy bits.
