“The hyperwar will come’: The Terminators are already fighting each other. New footage appears to show that Ukrainian drones loaded with explosives shot down Russian combat robots near the now Moscow-controlled city of Avdiivka.

The next development step would be swarms of drones over the battlefields. Automated war on the ground will follow - in 2017, Ukraine presented the combat robot known as RSVK-M2 from the Kiev-based engineering team from Robotics Design Bureau. The approximately two meter long vehicle can carry a heavy machine gun and, in the future, grenade launchers or anti-tank weapons.
