    They are unarguably are, in one recent instance a .50 cal robot obliterated a Russian APC at point blank range, in another one held a position on the frontline for over a month.

    Obviously they do not replace humans, but when used in the right ways they are extremely effective.

      Every human in the chain between supreme leader and murderbot army is a weak link.
