Russia deploys ‘killer robot’ drones in Ukraine, as Nato urged to win arms race

The Kremlin is using “kamikaze drones” with an apparent new capacity
to single out Ukrainian weaponry such as Western-supplied tanks and
lock on to targets without the need for a pilot to control the final
attack.

Moscow has previously boasted that it is developing fully automatic
drones that can locate and destroy weaponry or defences without a
human involved.

Experts suggest that the “target lock” system, which the Lancet’s
manufacturer Zala has previously highlighted, uses machine learning to
automatically identify a preloaded “catalogue” of Ukrainian equipment,
including high-end Western weaponry.

It can then enter an attack mode which appears to operate without the
need for a human pilot – a system likely to have been developed to
overcome electronic warfare jamming technology, which is capable of
defeating a drone attack by blocking the signal from an operator.
-----------------------

This claim may or may not be true, but the article reads as an
incentive (or reason) for Western military forces to produce the same
type of automatic killer drones.
If the operator signals can now be blocked, then AI controlled
automatic drones become a military requirement.
