Ukraine has embarked on a programme to deploy armed robots on the battlefield against Russian forces.

Since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion, the war in Ukraine has developed into a high-tech conflict.

Swarms of spy and killer drones have set the skies of Ukraine abuzz, and uncrewed boats have crippled the Russian navy in the Black Sea.

There have been reports of UGVs successfully repelling Russian attacks and even taking enemy soldiers prisoner.

Ukrainian and Russian killer robots are even said to have clashed without humans being present at the site of the battle.

One way in which the brigade has been using these robots is by mounting Kalashnikov machine guns on top.

His battalion has also been using explosive-laden, battery-powered kamikaze UGVs to blow up enemy positions and hideouts.

    Yeah I would think they’d be more useful for indirect tasks also, like supply logistics and sweeping for mines and tripewires.

    Also the ground vehicle pictured has a mounted repeating grenade launcher, rather than a machine gun.
