This article from CNN covers a recent operation in Ukraine where machines are taking the place of human soldiers. A military unit used aerial drones to strike trench positions,followed by armed ground robots that moved directly into the area. The surviving soldiers actually surrendred to these remote-controlled machines. It shows how much the basic methods of warfare are changing right now.
President Zelenskyy noted that these ground systems have run over 22,000 combat missions in just three months.The main point is that robots dont bleed. Human pilots can control them from miles away to stay safe. This gives us a clear look at a future where machines and drones will likely become the standard infantry for the most dangerous front line tasks.

The Ukraine/Russia war is probably doing more to advance robotics than just about anything else right now.
