Obviously. I’ll say it again, Ukraine and Russia was just a proving ground for Drone warfare. WWIII will be unmanned machines killing humans. They can be transported in commercial container ships, and released in populated locations to create hysteria. We will also see governments using drone events on their own people to justify more military spending and control.

Yay contracts corruption, but now with "AI". Even the corruption gets buzzwords! For anyone worried about Robocop prototypes they still aren't talking about autonomous firing decisions. The biggest likely impact right now is probably some evasive ability in a loyal wingman or arsenal drone.
