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.

      I really, honestly hope you are right. Sadly, I think you are wrong. I’ve recently been exposed to the concepts of “human safari” and “drone siege” and they aren’t pretty. “Drone on drone” might be just the preamble of these.

        No preamble, unfortunately. The Russians are doing these “human safaris”, which are, of course, clear as day war crimes, to train their drone pilots.

        Also to terrorize and wear out the civilian population of course, which is the Russian way of war.

        AI drones are coming along, but these won’t only be used on other drones or robots, that much we can know already.

          Indeed, I meant that in a hypothetical “drone vs drone” war, after the drones win the attacks on civilians and sieges will most likely come after.
