The tech space is clearly leading the charge, and the military is playing catch-up. One reported breakthrough giving killer machine opponents sleepless nights is Kalashnikov's "neural net" combat module. Mistakes could be disastrous - the killing of innocent civilians; the destruction of non-military targets; "friendly fire" attacks on your own side.

The Uran-9 is an unmanned ground combat vehicle and features a machine gun and 30mm cannon.
