“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. It can carry a heavy machine gun and, in the future, grenade launchers or anti-tank weapons.
