The Ukrainian military has massively used groups of combat ground robots to storm Russian positions near Liman, Russian military officials write. They publish a video of the repulse of an attack by 28 ground robotic systems (GRC) of the 3rd Corps of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on the position of the 20th Army of the Russian Federation. According to the claim, two robots with Mak-19 automatic grenade launchers, 18 vehicles with two AT-4 anti-tank grenade launchers each and eight other kamikaze robots were involved in the attack. It was reported that the attack was repelled with the help of FPV drones and drones with ammunition drops. Ukraine has not yet confirmed this specific episode, but the III Corps already reported in September the use of ground robots during Operation Vivaldi towards Liman. The vehicles, armed with two bullspike grenade launchers, then fired at Russian positions, after which they exploded directly at enemy positions. Note that the Russian military is also developing and using ground robotic systems. In particular, as far back as March 2024, near Avdeivka, the Russians used surveillance robots with automatic grenade launchers to support assault operations. Later, other armed platforms appeared, including the Envoy and Impulse. However, there have been no confirmed cases of a massive attack with the simultaneous use of several dozen Russian combat robots. But given that both warring sides are rapidly adopting each other's proven fighting methods, we may see massive use of ground robots in attacks by both the Ukrainian and Russian military in the near future. This is a potentially dangerous trend, especially if AI-based automated target detection systems are built into robots. That is, not a human operator, but algorithms will determine who to hit. If such robots are used to fight in populated areas, they can destroy all life there, including civilians.
