[The Telegraph reports](https://uk.news.yahoo.com/five-british-families-sue-tiktok-075846162.html): The unmanned ground vehicle, no bigger than a ride-on lawnmower, is armed with a .50-calibre M2 Browning machine gun and operated remotely by a soldier as far as 15 miles away. It can tackle rugged terrain at 4.3mph using an AI automatic guidance system or by remote control.
According to Cdr Zinkevych, the company deployed the DevDroid TW 12.7 in multiple positions during its 45-day stint at an undisclosed location. It would briefly leave its post every two days for maintenance and ammunition restocking by a crew sheltering 2.4 miles away from the front line.

It’ll be kinda creepy in my eyes if it becomes a war of machines where the human counterparts begin to be phased out.

That is “General Machine Gunner” to you now! A well-deserved promotion.

Q: who was reloading it?
another robot or it being brought back a bit to reload?
the actual idea is a good one, the only bit the enemy can ever see is the robot, all the people managing it are safely out of sight, and away from the actual firing position
goes to show what a bit of ingenuity can do
