I remember a friend of mine telling me, a decade ago, that drones were great and would be used to deliver medicine in rural areas. I disagreed, and realized they would be used to surveil and kill people.

NEW - Germany to send 4,000 AI-guided drones to Ukraine

CODE RED!! Germany to send 4,000 AI-guided drones to Ukraine, Will Reach Into RUSSIA!!

Germany on Monday said that it was delivering 4,000 AI-guided drones to Ukraine, even as it has refused to send Kyiv the long-range Taurus missile system.

Berlin has been the second-biggest supplier of military aid to Ukraine in its fight against Russia’s invasion.

Defence Minister Boris Pistorius told reporters at an event in Bavaria that the drones being provided “were directed and supported by artificial intelligence” and that they could “take out the enemy’s electronic drone defences”.

The drones “can be delivered very quickly” and could be “deployed 30-40 kilometres (19-25 miles) behind the front line and hit combat posts, logistics hubs among other targets”, Pistorius said.

Along some parts of the front line in Ukraine, such a distance would reach into Russian territory.
