  1. > In an important development in robotic warfare, Ukrainian assault forces have executed what they claim to be the world’s first fully unmanned offensive operation, capturing Russian troops using only ground robots and aerial drones.

    > The assault took place in the Kharkiv region of eastern Ukraine, marking a watershed moment in the integration of autonomous and remotely operated systems in front-line combat.

    > The operation was carried out by Ukraine’s elite 3rd Separate Assault Brigade, specifically its experimental “DEUS EX MACHINA” drone company.

    > According to an official statement issued by the brigade, the attack employed a combination of FPV (first-person view) kamikaze drones and ground robotic complexes (GRCs) to penetrate and neutralize fortified Russian positions that had previously repelled human-led offensives.

    > The assault began with a kamikaze ground robot targeting a Russian defensive bunker. The detonation destroyed the stronghold, prompting the remaining Russian soldiers to surrender as another robot approached their position.

    > “As the next robot approached a destroyed bunker, the enemy, to avoid being blown up, announced their surrender,” the brigade said on Telegram.

    > The captured soldiers were then remotely escorted back to Ukrainian lines by overhead drones, described in the statement as “birds,” using live-feed visual coordination.

    Gives me Terminator vibes.

  2. Damn that would be terrifying, an undying ground robot slowly advancing toward your location and you know it will explode when it gets there

  3. this is how ukraine recaptures their territory. need to kick production of these drones into high gear and recruit their operators. gates and buffet should invest heavily into this.
