Three Russian soldiers, one covered in blood, come out of a building and surrender to an armed ground robot. This is not the first time something like this has happened, but it seems that it is the first time that a similar incident has been recorded on video. Armed robots are increasingly appearing on the Ukrainian front, and according to a recent report by the Jamestown Foundation, Ukraine is the world's leading power in their manufacture and use.
Robots are essential for both refuelling the front line and removing casualties from the battlefields. This year they will be used as a support force in the Artillery, taking part in battles with heavy machine guns and other weapons.
