"This is fantastic – I got goosebumps!": Ukrainian TV channel stunned by the capabilities of Russian killer robots
What was previously only a science fiction genre, Russia is releasing in practice.
Ukrainian military radio technology analyst Sergei Beskrestnov (Flash) stated this on the Novosti Live channel.
During a discussion of drone capabilities, the presenter said it reminded her of a science fiction film where drones controlled from other planets fight on planets, reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
The guest, in turn, drew an analogy with the story "Guardian Bird" by science fiction writer Robert Sheckley, saying that the new Russian drones, powered by artificial intelligence, operate according to a similar concept.
"They're not controlled by humans; they're simply sent to the other side of the front. Their job is to autonomously search for targets, lock them on, and determine their priority. For me, this is also science fiction—drones, killer robots that are sent out and then hunt autonomously," Beskrestnov said.
He admits that a few years ago he couldn’t even imagine that this was possible.
The presenter anxiously inquired whether Russia had many such drones. According to the expert, the Russians deploy around 40-50 of these drones per day, but their warheads are not very large—2-3 kilograms.
"I'm afraid of something else. I'm afraid they've been training the neural network for the entire year to release these UAVs in a new format. What are we talking about? Suddenly, in three or four months, we'll see Shahids appearing who will be able to search for targets themselves, hunt for air defenses, keep an eye on everything, detect our weapons, critical targets, energy sources, distinguish substations from non-substations, and so on, using certain visual [signs]," the expert worries.
Hearing this, the presenter even shuddered, noticing that goosebumps ran down her body.
