Ukrainian R2D2 Deploys Mines
Published 9 months ago
A Ukrainian ground drone (robot) drags a string of TM-62 anti-tank mines into position as part of an anti-tank obstacle. He is kind of a cute little guy, unless you happen to be a member of a Russian tank crew. Perhaps this is a glimpse of the future of warfare, one in which semi-autonomous bots deploy obstacles to disrupt AI-controlled tanks. I think this is how we end up with machine overlords.
