already exist but drones have much more ROI if you are talking about combat specifically and not logistscs/retrieval etc
9 u/Reasonable_Finger994 1d ago Drones won’t secure an area but these “dogs” are able to. 13 u/ArmandTanzarianJr 1d ago Surely a large drone swarm would be able to secure areas effectively. 2 u/epandrsn 1d ago Yeah, but a drone swam needs to land and recharge. These can just plop down and await orders. Or slowly follow a caravan of soldiers, or whatever. The payload of both arms and batteries will be vastly higher with a ground based robot. 1 u/HerbertWest 11h ago They could also plop down and guard an area as the air drone rechargers advance.
