The Ministry of Defence has unveiled a drone armed with twin stabilised shotguns that uses AI to identify its targets. MoD has developed the flying 'armed fighter' with an undisclosed British company to deploy specifically in urban situations, such as buildings barricaded by armed personnel. The so-called i9 drone is the UK military’s first weaponised drone to be able to fly inside, according to the Times. 'Close-combat urban warfare provides some of the most dangerous and complex scenarios to military personnel,' MoD said to MailOnline. The device is part of the government agency's promise for British military to become 'relentlessly innovative’ in the new decade.
