Ground robots flailing the earth with chains, they can detonate landmines and clear paths for armored personnel carriers and foot soldiers instead of, uh, our foot soldiers, or in this case Ukrainian foot soldiers, having their legs blown out from under them, like, uh, Congressman Brian Mast.

Robotic mine clearing was actually the key to the Third Army Corps' advance, according to an American military analyst, David Axe, and he wrote, uh, in his Trench Art blog on Sunday.

He said, "In contrast to a Ukrainian counteroffensive in 2023 that was stopped by landmines, this one regained 68 square miles, took 250 Russian prisoners, and left 5,000 Russians dead or severely wounded." That's according to the Ukrainian Corps commander, the Brigadier General Andril Biletskyi.

And during the recent Ukrainian offensive actions, it's drones, robots, and unmanned systems that are being used on a massive scale.
