THE MARCH 2020 DRONE ATTACK MAY WELL BE A SIGN OF THINGS TO COME, Bendett explains, “In Russia, the military is on record going back almost a decade discussing mass-scale applications of robotic and autonomous systems to remove soldiers from dangerous combat and to overwhelm adversary defenses, making it easier to conduct follow-on strikes.”
