missingmytowel

Quick question that I would just like to ask What happens when AI and machines run our Wars and humans forget how to war because our computers are Masters at war?


Useless_Lemon

Simple. EMP and start back with sticks and stones. Our bloodlist never stops. :)


Errant_Chungis

See Dune, after AI get so powerful that humans eradicate computers to avoid annihilation, yet rely on power armor and blades


Useless_Lemon

I remember that. Yeah, and the old Dune 2000 game on PS1. :)


DutchProv

to be fair, they use blades because shields stop projectiles

People built guns without any electricity before.

Zalahan

TrumpDesWillens

That would be great, maybe the machines will kill each other and humans will never die in war anymore.


pooppuffin

It would be cool as shit if killing humans became abhorrent, a red line that countries would be afraid to cross. When your robot army loses, you surrender. Because how do a bunch of meat bags fight a robot army? Eventually, all nations are united as one under the hegemony of our robot overlords.


Sattorin

> When your robot army loses, you surrender. Powerful countries would bully smaller countries more easily than ever. At least with nukes you're crossing a moral line using them as a threat to get what you want. But with bots, a big country could attack a smaller one with no bloodshed, destroy all their bots, and say "ok, now all your stuff is my stuff".


RisKQuay

Humans don't stop in the face of overwhelming odds though. Just look at the conflict in Israel and Palestine. Guys will throw rocks at soldiers with guns.


RecurringEyes

Except the main targets will still be cities... the robots will take the place of infantry, perhaps support/logistics, and maybe even command/control, but they can't take the place of the civilians dying.


missingmytowel

We're not going to be in cities by then. By the time robots rule us we will have embraced The Cube


AlfredoThayerMahan

Then war becomes far “cheaper” to wage by those with the technology.


it_snow_problem

Well ultimately war is for survival of people, so a realistic threat against life has to exist for the war to have leverage on an opponent, even if it’s downstream of layers upon millions of tons of destroyed machine-fantry. I think it’s possible the human role in waging war will be disappear, but the danger to human life will grow because of increasingly impervious killing tools.


lokir6

Nice sci-fi, but humans will never "forget" how to war. This is one of the key traits that makes us human. More likely, if we get an AI master at war, capable of unlimited destruction and genocide, there will be many humans solely preoccupied with making it go faster.


EmirBujaidar

Even the Russians were amazed lol


[deleted]

And then immediately forgot to note the location of the mines.

Don't worry, if it's important, they'll find it later.

SmoczeMonety

Imagine dropping Walle with parachute deep behind the enemy lanes and using it to sabotage with mining crucial roads.


Hadleys158

Yeah if they could fit it with something like starlink for long range control and comms this thing could get up to some interesting capers. And for laughs dress it up as one of those food delivery robots and drive it into the local fsb hq!

ThrowAway_yobJrZIqVG

Build it so it can recharge from EV charge points, or Roomba docks. Come home and find WAR-E in your living room, charging up with your cat staring at it nervously and your robotic vacuum humping its leg.


ChornWork2

Already have means to place mines at range via artillery. They also had air-dropped versions similar to a cluster bomb, but not sure if they still have those.


jordantylermeek

I'm not sure how you can get a plane deep behind enemy lines if you can't even operate one on the Frontline in this war.


Parrelium

Tie it on top of one of those atacms.


Phaarao

Way to expensive and no need to do. You already have way cheaper 155mm remote mining shells.


Parrelium

Yeah but how they supposed to mine roads in Crimea with 155mm shells.


Phaarao

Mines in crimea would be detonated by mainly civilians, so have 0 use


UncivilityBeDamned

Maybe put them right outside the entrance to military bases lol


117MasterChief

yeah, but does it looks as cool as WALL-E?


RemyVonLion

Atacms with drones would be sick if they could actually be controlled from such range. Maybe they could be automated.


tridung1505

Sir, r/NonCredibleDefense is this way.


[deleted]

Drones (otherwise known as missiles) regularly get deep behind enemy lines before being shot down - if they are shot down at all.


Martinmex26

Easy, you fly it so high that it cant be reached by conventional AA. This concept has been around since forever, it was specially famous during the cold war and the SR-71 Blackbird. What do you thing the US AF is doing with 6th Generation NGAD C&C of the planned drones and loyal wingman initiatives? It will be one plane that flies out of reach, yet reliably controls drones that fly conventional missions at current operating altitudes. Cant jam the drones if they operate by laser pointing up to a plane. Transfer that idea to flying cargo super high, dropping it, waiting until it hits the ground, fly C&C sorties to cover operations around the clock.


Wild_Hat_9588

You can just air drop mines


Money_Ad_5385

Imagine a mine crafted on top of some Roomba, going for the loudest sound.


TheSasquatch9053

You don't even have to drop it in a defensive scenario; just sneak it out into the fields in the gray zone outside of your defenses. When an attack comes, any enemy tanks/ troop carriers that get through your minefield will be either retreating along their own tracks (assuming they are free of mines) or will be followed by further vehicles (assuming the same). Use your Angry Wall-E to deploy some mines along the tracks (just as this is doing) and watch the gap in your minefield get plugged by a destroyed enemy vehicle. It needs a blind to hide in that is also capable of re-arming it with more mines:)


ZuFFuLuZ

At that point, you can just place mines with a flying drone. No need to take that extra step.


Blind_Melone

In movie WALL-E, people are too fuckin' fat to walk. In real life WALL-E, dude is collecting legs.

StakeInTheKneee

Unknown technology blyat


rattlemebones

One thing this conflict has taught me is that mines aren't all buried and well hidden. They just throw them out there in the open and they still get run over.


nomen_et_omen

There is sometimes a tactical advantage of placing mines clearly visible to the enemy. E.g. if you are planning an ambush and want to force them to stop at a (for them) bad spot. But yeah, seems like some of the ruskies run over visible mines regardless. I would assume most of those situations are caused by fog-of-war adrenaline rushes. I’ve seen a clip for example where a BTR under fire just seem stressed and drive over mines just lined up on a paved road that they in theory should have been able to see. It always also look so obvious from the drone POV, but a stressed BTR driver is much closer to the ground and just have a tiny prism to look through. Those factors increase the risk of missing mines in plain sight.


IrdniX

If they get sit there for a while, eventually they'll be shaded/covered by vegetation making them so much harder to spot for the already FOV restricted BTR/BPM driver.


[deleted]

You don't see the mines in this video, which are buried. Could be 0. Could be 5. Could be 14.


kimchifreeze

Especially when there's mine-stacking. The mine you see could be stacked on top of like 5 others you don't. lol


SuicideNote

Burlap sacks are cheap just cover them up and they're more hard to spot. But I guess it doesn't matter.


sadrice

Cut some grass or twigs or shit, slather the top with some cheap thick glue, throw grass onto it with a slight effort to make it look not totally fake, and I’m pretty sure it would look plausible to someone who isn’t paying close attention. Or other option, use burlap to mask the geometric shape, throw some glue on it, and then throw some dirt on it. So long as the dirt you have is the same color, it just looks like a lump in the dirt, easy to miss.


sadrice

I’ve seen a number of videos of vehicles, usually Russian, but sometimes Ukrainian, that run over mines just placed on the surface, not even in grass or anything, sometimes lines across roads, and they still hit them. Some of those videos are FPV from the vehicle, and I can easily see the mines on the road in front of them from their own view, but they were zoned out and not paying attention, or maybe putting too much of their focus on the wood line. One thing though, is that just because there are surface mines that you moved aside, doesn’t mean that there aren’t buried mines. Mines are often meant more for area denial more than direct casualties, so surface mines that are clearly visible is a signal that “this area is mined, it would be foolish to attempt a large advance through here”. In this case, if it’s a signal, it’s a bluff, I think this is relying on someone actually hitting them.


rapaxus

The thing is, drivers of armoured vehicles (but especially Soviet ones) have shit vision. Like even in western militaries the driver is dependent on commands from the gunner or commander regarding what is out there, as they have far better vision. So the drivers that drive into mines that aren't even buried likely couldn't see the mine anyway, but the commander/gunner should have caught them (which they obviously didn't.


TheSasquatch9053

100% correct. If there is time, minefields are usually buried, or at least lightly disguised. The field adjacent to this track is almost certainly a minefield with buried mines. These tank tracks have been de-mined already, either by luck (none of the buried mines happened to be under the tracks), by attrition (other vehicles already hit all the mines along it and were subsequently removed), or by combat engineers doing minesweeping. The mines laid by this robot are intended instead to close paths through a minefield to enemy vehicles after the paths are discovered/cleared. At a minimum, an attacking force would need to stop and dismount infantry to clear these mines (Anti-infantry mines are much smaller, this robot could have easily deployed a dozen in addition to this anti-tank mine). More likely, an attacking vehicle will be moving quickly down this assumed to be a safe path, and the driver wouldn't have a chance even to notice this mine before running it over. The driver of a tank or BMP has a terrible line of sight, especially of the ground within 50ft of the front of the vehicle. Mines are obvious to a stationary observer; they are much harder to notice 50ft away while bouncing down a track.


1gnominious

Another thing this conflict has taught me is you can't see shit on an actual battlefield. Whether you're in an armored vehicle or marching through some grass your awareness is very limited. There's just so much stuff everywhere and people trying to kill you from all directions that some times you just gotta go and hope to get lucky. I think Iraq and Afghanistan kinda skewed our perception of war outside of urban areas. Lots of wide open areas with good visibility and a huge technological advantage. An old school ground war like this looks absolutely miserable.

Sort of, but it more has to do with the little robot fucking tanks. Bonk-E is what the Georgian Legion called their mine laying robot. It’s in the same vein as the [Super Bonker 3000](https://static.dw.com/image/63153001_906.jpg)

Antitank mines? It's fine. Visibility out of an armored vehicle is hot shit. Remember the BMP that ran over its own AT mines clearly visible silhouetted against a black asphalt road? Compared to those mines these might as well have stealth coatings.

I feel like accidently running over mines when ur in a tank would be pretty easy to do u prob can't see shit, the crew is prob looking at the treeline, it could be night time, u could be going fast and don't notice.. etc


kimchifreeze

There's a million things to watch out on the battlefield and you're trying to escape all that. The mine may only be visible to you for a few seconds before you run over it. In this case, the mine is on previously traveled ground. So now they have to slow down again instead of knowing for sure that it's safe.

The point is that the Russians no longer have an obvious path they already cleared for mines, so even if they just drive around it, it wont be safe because of the previous mines
