These are the dangerous autonomous weapons that are making the US army tremble! Can attack without humans

Autonomous Weapon: On May 22, 2025, Russian media reports revealed that more than 480 Ukrainian drones targeted important targets in Moscow.

Autonomous Weapon: On May 22, 2025, Russian media reports revealed that more than 480 Ukrainian drones targeted important targets in Moscow. The Aeroprakt A-22 aircraft used in these attacks were small but dangerous. These low-altitude planes are capable of carrying bombs or weapons and can be operated with remote control or AI-guided systems.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said the attack was a response to Russia's attack on Kiev with 140 drones. The Iranian Shahed drone was used in that attack, which was built on the basis of an Israeli drone and was equipped with an autonomous guidance system.

Ukraine building a drone wall

To prevent Russian infiltration, Ukraine is now building a wall of remote and autonomous drones on its eastern border. This includes high-tech drones like Turkey's Bayraktar TB2 and China's DJI Mavic. Since the war started in 2022, Russia has been using 'loitering munitions' like Kalashnikov Kub-BLA. In response, the US has given Ukraine AI-drone systems like Switchblade 300 and 600 which can stay in the air for a long time and attack their targets on their own.

The new face of AI war

The technologies of America and China may not be directly present in this war, but their weapons are definitely in the field. America has now got this opportunity to see where it stands in the AI-based weapons race. While in the 90s, soldiers had to control drones from a distance to operate them, today's modern LAWS (Lethal Autonomous Weapons Systems) can take decisions and attack without human intervention.

American concern and China's speed

According to the Pentagon, China has made rapid progress in LAWS technology. While in 2018 China advocated a ban on such weapons, in a United Nations document in 2022, it talked about making AI weapons a part of its security policy.

Political analyst Kyle Haynes believes that the Russia-Ukraine war has become a testing ground for future wars. He believes that China is learning a lot from this war, especially for its strategy regarding Taiwan.

Feiyi: China's hybrid drone

China has developed a special drone called Feiyi which can operate in both air and water. This drone can launch from a submarine and hide under water and fly in the air as soon as it gets a chance. It has been specially designed for sea wars like Taiwan.

America's counter-preparation

To stop China's advance, the US has launched the Navy's 'Manta Ray' (an unarmed submarine), and the Air Force's 'Loyal Wingman' program, in which humans and AI-piloted fighter jets fight together.

Cheap and effective war

According to retired Colonel T.X. Hames, any army without AI weapons will suffer heavy losses. AI drones and weapons are cheaper than traditional systems and give faster results. He said that in 2025, Russia and Ukraine are preparing to make about 4 million drones. The US and China are also engaged in further upgrading this technology.

The new definition of war

Professor Michael Horowitz of Penn University believes that the combination of AI and precision guidance technology has given strike capability to almost every country in the world. Now war has become smarter, more precise and machine-dependent than ever before.
