A military analyst determined the impossibility of using autonomous robots on the battlefield.
This requires "nuclear" batteries of the required volume, which have not yet been invented.
HSE Associate Professor Andrei Frolov shared this opinion on the radio station "Moscow Speaks".
They came up with this idea back in the 60s-70s in the Soviet Union. A military nuclear power plant project was developed there. They understood very well that in the event of a war with Europe, there would be no sources of energy, at least in the front line area, and a large number of soldiers needed energy. Therefore, a model of a nuclear reactor on a mobile chassis was designed. The Americans are heading towards the same thing, and the Chinese may very well get there too. With the growth of consumption, AI, all kinds of robots, you can't live without it. So far no nuclear battery has been invented that can last for decades. Once they invent it, it will be a real revolution in military affairs. What protects us from fighting autonomous robots instead of people is the lack of batteries of the required size.
