Swarming drones autonomously navigate a dense forest

If you play opening sequence of Terminator you will notice that the weapons used are exactly what makes sense to deploy against Russia - Ai orchestrated drones, hi power laser (Raphael Tech) turrets mounted on autonomous vehicles. We just need to connect everything to supercomputer to come up with attack strategies in real time based on vast amounts of sensor data

I’m not sure if this is satire, but everything you’ve written is a terrible idea.

Expanding from Baktyar drones to autonomous ground weapons and lasers sounds ‘connected to a supercomputer’ sounds like a way to escalate the situation both within Ukraine, and to the rest of the connected community.

Not sure why you think a bunch of ground drones are useful against ICBMs.

If the drones have lasers that are powerful and accurate enough[1], they can be very useful against ICBMs on a ballistic trajectory.

1. The navy is already testing ground-based lasers powerful enough to destroy drones and light aircraft.
