Source: Ukraine Rolls Out Target-Seeking Terminator Drones

“I am not stupid, you know,” says Sarah Connor in the original 1984 Terminator movie, refusing to believe that a killer robot is after her. “They cannot make things like that yet.”

“Not yet,” Kyle Reese tells her. “Not for about forty years.”

Forty years is now up. Not only do autonomous weapons exist, they can be built at a kitchen table with components bought online. And as Sternenko suggest, they are rapidly improving. It will take some time for the world to fully comes to terms with what this means.

My thoughts – target discrimination, IFF, how far will this go? Ukraine is desperate, how far will they go?
