I hope this is a fake!!

[Screwdriver]

The whole idea of robot warriors is moot. Squadrons of drones is where its at.

Thousands, if not tens of thousands of them launched at the enemy with face recognition or just <any human shaped object> within <gps data range>.

Kamikazi drone only needs a few grams of high explosive or poisoned knives/shrapnel (or both). Plus like their grown up missile brothers (aka Switchblade), they can "loiter"...

Agreed , Was going to say no one would bother making a robot like a human to shoot guns like a human on a finger trigger in the video

little drones with weapons mounted would be it.

 

[premmington]

Definitely getting close though - Police will love it - they can stay at home eating their doughnuts whilst keeping kids safe in Yank schools

Discharged more than 30rounds the mag holds - so dismiss it as fake!

I agree - now I have seen it on a full size monitor and not my phone it is also CGI. Look at the APC - definitely not right!
With all the AI coming along with deep fakes and everything else nothing is sacred any more. You could have video "proof" of the Queen shooting the pope dead

Like they are already doing in Ukraine. Very nasty some of those videos and all off the shelf consumer drones.

 

[fizzy]

Yup. Even a low level grunt plays with toys we don’t know about yet I reckon.

Not so sure about that - some of the consumer drones are better than the military stuff - the tech changes so fast and yet the military are known for being very slow with their procurement.
Think of it with computers - military state of the art today will be old hat in 3 years time.

 

[Screwdriver]

Thank goodness they're all "Made in China". No. Wait...

Seen one video where a grenade was encased in a simple two piece plastic container, designed to split apart on impact allowing the handle to spring free and detonate when dropped from a drone.

Maybe if it was continuous uncut footage. It's not so how can you tell

Not saying it's isn't mind.

You seen those land mines that they sow from planes and drones like sycamore seeds?

Plastic things. Look exactly like those seeds but bigger. They arm when they lie flat

 

[julianf]

Dont be so certain, just think of the things they are not showing us until the military or law enforcement agency's have allowed what can be shown

Human lives are cheaper.

Can't see any mechanical method the "robot" could change the mag - can you...?

Let alone cock it! The mag is a thirty rounder - is is mounted under the "lower receiver" - how is it gonna change the mag?

Does not look like there is enough clearance for me a human to change the mag' without demouting the gun.

These "bots" are still only good for glorified fragmentation "grenades and explosions". Flying cluster drones is where it is at.

But "bots" are coming - they are....

 

[roofman]

Human lives are cheaper.

yes my thoughts too

 

[premmington]

yes my thoughts too

+1 for the above.

I was thinking this too!

Why would you use a mag fed weapon on a drone or robot ? Only reason humans use them is weight … belt fed all the way

Drone swarms are already “a thing” at least theoretically

Semi autonomous “cluster” munitions with look down self targeting capability have been mooted too… but mainly for armour, transport, parked planes, aa, fuel dumps etc. Rather than the much easier to deal with human targets … that practically anything can take out

(Sadly) plus one for the above!

WE as humans are doomed!

Still doesn't count as proof. Or did the robot dogs robot mate set the cameras up. Again. I'm not saying it's real.

Because shoving a gun on top to prove it can aim and hit targets isn't the same thing as building a fit for purpose war ready machine.

Yes you are.
So long and thanks for all the fish.

The DJI drones with paper cups carrying hand grenades aren't war ready either but they have killed plenty of people with them!
