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.
People will give a shit about the robots dying once their side starts running low.
When shit turns into Helm’s Deep, when the robots are taking out the last of your defenses, you’ll give a shit lol.
Think of the drones and robots less like soldiers/planes and more like a thousand points that make up a force field. As that field decays, so does your protection beneath it.
I think you’re overestimating the defensive capabilities we have. Drones has been so successful in warfare specifically because there is no good counter, and numbers can be used to overcome more effective countermeasures.
Helms deep had walls which were impassable before breaching. Drones leak through defenses like a sieve.
Dude, I am not talking about capabilities we have. We’re talking about massive drone-on-drone wars, not today.
So thank you for contributing to some other conversation, but your comment does not exist in the same universe as mine.
That world is here and now. The only futuristic or scifi element is the perfect defense.
