Russia vs Ukraine anyone watching this ignite?

[DadSmith]

Ironically, that stuff was what that one off prototype the Ruskies lost in combat was made to test.

Of course whatever it had didn't work, well if it was even functional before they sent it to Ukraine.

Our system is from the Israeli military. It has already been well tested and it works. If we will put it on our tanks.

Honestly. I see a future were drones do most of the combat..

I forsee a future that is the end of humans being inside anything that is a combat vehicle.

And that future is one step closer to Skynet

A long way to go yet before they develop AI good enough for that.

Germany sending more stuff to Ukraine.

Achtung! Panzerfaust!

It's funny how most European countries are now seeing the need to arm the civilian population of Ukraine, while being against their own citizens owning guns.

You need a special carry permit just to carry a blank gun in Germany. No idea why it's even a thing ...

They have no problem sending stuff that you can't even own legally in the US (modern full auto-machine guns, anti-tank weapons etc) to untrained civilians, yet they don't allow most of their citizens to own a simple semi-auto rifle.

Maybe they should provide guns (and training) to their own citizens (Like Switzerland does), to make sure a future invasion of their own country doesn't happen.

I kinda wish my country was invaded next to get a free HK-G36 and maybe a cool MP5.

****ing Ukraine gets more HK stuff than we do

Be careful what you wish for my friend.

Russia is already making war robots based on sci-fi movies.

They introduced that thing in 2018 ... looks a lot like the huge robot in Robocop.
It's only missing guns but it's made by the Kalashnikov Group ... they make small arms and robot, so I'm sure they can combine the two.

Free guns?

Oh yeah the foreign invasion ... not as cool.

Bull pucky... a system to destroy any human in sight would be a trivial task.

The computational power only gets hard when you have to decide between threat/non-threat.

Adding such capability to make autonomous robots would be a moral decision, not a technical one.

Robosaurus is a transforming dinosaur robot created by inventor Doug Malewicki in 1989 and originally owned and operated by his company, Monster Robots, Inc.

That's the problem it would have to know who not to destroy if governments use them instead of humans.

"Skynet" doesn't have that issue (that's the part I was snarking about.)

They could drop it into the middle of enemy territory, and if it survived after “doing its work”, a kill switch could be remotely activated to shut the robot down

Presumably it has the same issue with stairs...

Tall things get shot first on the battlefield. That's why you hug the dirt, that's why the battle gnomes live longer.

That thing has come to the 500 before.. in one of the private parking lots surrounding the race. They weren't running it though. Just sitting.

That doesn't turn out well, I've seen the movie Terminator...

That or its just the fact that Farmers with tractors are the most powerful military force known to man.

Score!!! I‘ll take one too please

I'd take a GAZ-2330. Powered by Cummins diesel and Alison transmission.
