The US Air Force wants $5.8 billion to build 1,000 AI-driven unmanned combat aircraft, possibly more, as part of its next generation air dominance initiative::The unmanned aircraft are ideal for suicide missions, the Air Force says. Human rights advocates call the autonomous lethal weapons “slaughterbots.”
Yeah yeah yeah, when are we getting to the battlemechs? I was promised battlemechs all the way back in the 80s!
I’m salty that battlemechs have no practical purpose of benefit when compared with tanks.
Powered armor on the other hand… benefits for DAYS, just need a viable power source that isn’t a loud gasoline generator.
The Matrix was powered by people. Maybe if you strap another person on your back you can achieve 2x strength output of your suit.
You’re ruining it for me!
Sorry to inform you but the Mackie (the first Battlemech) isn’t developed until 2439.
Curses! Pacific Rim lied to me!
