The Ukrainian Defense Forces destroyed 18 Russian vessels that were providing logistical support to occupied Crimea.
According to information from the General Staff, the vessels struck included 13 tankers, three dry cargo ships, one ferry, and one support vessel.
According to the Ukrainian military, these vessels are used to support the Russian Federation’s military logistics, transporting fuel and lubricants, military cargo, and other resources necessary for conducting armed aggression against Ukraine.
Using drones, according to the article.
Drones and robots will put soldiers out of a job soon. I joke, but what use is a human if a drone(s) can do this kind damage?
They’re not autonomous, for one thing. Also, I doubt many soldiers will complain about not having to be in dangerous assaults.
Of course, but being in the armed forces is a career. There is a real possibility that drones and robots could fulfill the roles of soldiers and wouldn’t need to be paid to perform that role. However on the flip side, you’d need people to maintain and operate them.
A lot of people join the military to be able to use violence.
Gonna need someone to be ready to flip the switch on the drone’s AI when it decides to target schools and hospitals.
Headline says “destroyed” but later in the article it says, “The extent of the damage inflicted and the final results of the strikes are currently being assessed.”
