This might be a little tougher than Putin thought

This robotic/ drone warfare is science fiction/ dystopic futuristic film stuff on steroids.

Can you imagine a china with mass produced robots and drones...ie millions of these in the hands of any evil leader like Putin or trump?

Scary.
War with few human casualties on the tech superior side?
Unleash the hounds,sir .
Glad that Ukraine is surviving with this technology but I fear the only weapon left for a desperate Putin type to combat it is nukes.

You could theoretically invade a country with “boots on the ground” without using or losing a single life of your own

The robots won't be fighting each other so much. The targets will be C&C centers and infrastructure: power stations, bridges, fuel, etc. There'll be plenty of casualties, it just won't be front-line soldiers.

159 ships and no slowing down.
I wonder how many of these ships have been sunk or just in need of repairs, and whether they can be repaired. Are they just floating around being pushed by the currents? I know they keep destroying tug boats which are trying to move the ships, which is nice. What a **** show for russia.

I was wondering the same. My guess is not all that many are actually sunk. Hopefully plenty of damage to majorly screw things up for Russia.

Well you are the one making a claim. I think it is BS. Support it if you want and maybe I won't think it's BS. Or don't. IDGAF.

I'm not making a claim, I'm throwing out a question,... Do you just automatically believe and accept everything you find on the internet?,.. I choose not to,.. Zero phucks given here as well.

Yes, because I believe the drone footage I see of drones hitting boats and explosions being recorded by other cameras, and smoke and fire coming off of the boats, I believe everything I find on the internet.

Google says those were first made in 1952 and were stopped in 1993. Something that's, at absolute youngest, 33 years old, is being used against modern anti-aircraft technology? Lol good luck with that.

Today, our long-range sanctions worked across three areas on Russian territory, as well as on our temporarily occupied land and at sea. In particular, in response to Russian strikes on our civilian infrastructure and on our cities and communities, two major logistics facilities were hit – in the Moscow and Tambov regions, more than 500 and nearly 700 kilometers from the front line. The aggressor used them to supply sanctioned components for drone production and navigation equipment. An oil facility was also struck. In addition, Ukrainian mid-range strikes engaged targets in the waters of the Sea of Azov and the Black Sea, and in our temporarily occupied Crimea.

I thank the warriors of the Unmanned Systems Forces, the Special Operations Forces, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Security Service of Ukraine, and the Defense Intelligence of Ukraine – every unit of Ukraine's Defense Forces – for their precise and coordinated execution of these missions. Glory to Ukraine!

We still utilize the ole B52 stratofortress. And, from time to time the Warthog, which is my favorite.
