Summary

Ukraine’s 13th National Guard Brigade conducted its first all-robot assault, using ground and aerial drones to clear Russian positions in Kharkiv Oblast.

The operation involved surveillance, explosive, and gun-armed robots, demonstrating Ukraine’s advanced military robotics.

While robots excel in surveillance and attack, their limitations in holding ground, particularly against jamming and maintenance challenges, underscore the continued importance of human infantry.

    I’d rather see a robot blown up than a Ukranian defending his homeland. If you hate robots being used by Ukrainians then the only other option is people dying.

      That’s a strawman – – this was never a conversation of robots versus humans. If you’re actually literate, you’ll see my comment spoke of the human cost of war demotivating those from stopping it. Not about robots versus humans.

      But if you need to be dishonest in order to make your point, that shows everyone how bullshit your position is.

        My assumption was that because you hate robot usage in warfare that you disagree with Ukraine using them in this instance, while I agree. Maybe I got it wrong, it’s a bit hard to see your point through all the ad hominems for illiterate people like me. Either way hope you have a nice day.

          If you’re so tied up on personal criticism that you can’t see the logic of my argument, that’s your own problem. Stop blaming me for it.

          Also, stop making assumptions about strangers. You’re more often to be wrong than right.

            I can’t see the logic of your argument either since it seems to go from robot warfare against an invading party to a cold war between two planets that are nowhere near each other, where they force people into suicide booths.
