Ukraine equips ground robots with grenade launchers against Russia

Original: Ukraine is arming war robots with grenade launchers to hit the Russians

Ukraine is deploying unmanned ground vehicles fitted with grenade launchers to strike Russian positions without putting soldiers at risk. The robotic systems can advance, fire and withdraw under remote control, reflecting Ukraine's growing reliance on autonomous machines along the front line as manpower shortages mount and drones and robots take on more combat roles.

Why now: It highlights the rapid militarisation of robotics in the Ukraine war and the shift toward unmanned combat systems.
