No humans allowed: Ukraine lands a combat robot from a drone boat

Original version ·

Just when you thought the black market of drone warfare couldn't get any weirder, Ukrainian soldiers decided to play real-life Starcraft on the Dnipro River.

The 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade just pulled off what might be a world first. They took an unmanned sea platform—basically a remote-controlled raft—loaded a ground combat robot onto it, sailed it over to the occupied Kinburn Spit, unloaded the robot, and sent it to shoot at Russians.

No humans on the boat, no humans on the beach. Just machines doing machine things in the cold mud.

This is literally a drone delivering another drone to a combat zone. It's the ultimate "yo dawg, I heard you like unmanned systems" moment, except it's saving actual human lives on one of the most dangerous stretches of the frontline.

One can only hope the ground drone remembered to thank its boat ride.
