Germans had them in WWII with the Goliath tracked mines
Zerg rush incoming. Also there is no way this tech is not going to be used for terror once they get stolen or sold.
At the scale of war, something purpose-built like this is helpful because it's customized and standardized for exactly what they want it to do. But if it would really be that helpful for individual acts of terror, I think we'd have seen rudimentary versions by now. If terrorists haven't been using RC cars or rovers already, I don't think this is enough of a jump in tech to make them start.
What's stopping it now? All you'd need is a RC chassis, some sort of explosive, and a basic AI (drive here, blow up)
The sooner the battlefield is turned into nothing but a bunch of unmanned gizmos reenacting a GTA Online battle royale, the better.
I believe it's still better than mining fields which would kill civilians in peace time afterwards.
It's possible that Ukraine is using Russian mines that they've removed from fields. If so, it'd be the opposite.
Mines are cheap enough. Also, don't they detonate the mines to clean them? Basically all mine clearance videos I've seen in my life detonated the mines.
Could be. I've seen video of someone in Vietnam clearing mines, and they just did it with a knife. Didn't detonate the thing.
I'd assume that anti-tank mines, unless they have anti-handling mechanisms designed to target people disarming them, probably won't go off on a person.
You are right.
Won't show up on thermals, unlike a lot of other stuff in this conflict.
Imagine 100 of these swarming your position
Why camoflage it? It should be bright orange and . . blinking with some freaky dalek voice coming out of it.
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!
Ngl, that would scare the life out of my soul, specially in the middle of the night.
Not sure what's scarier, a the sound of a little terror drone before an explosion. Or the silence, the feeling of security that there's nothing on a recently cleared path and then seeing my mates vehicle blow up.
