Reply to comment by pete_68 in The killer ground drone revolution is here. The Netherlands has deployed four armed ground robots or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), making it the first NATO country to do so. The robots are Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry Systems (THeMIS) UGVs built by the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics. by mossadnik

You say what, the same military (Netherlands) with an article about their spot robot, lol. Only some programming left to do and add some "modifications" to the design!

Besides, robots were not uncommon before. The bomb disposal unit also always had various robots, their special forces use things like throw bots as well. And of course drones. From those large reaper drones, to small Loki drones to clear houses and the Black Hornet mini drones and anything inbetween.

On top of all that, besides this THeMis tracked UGV (unmanned ground vehicle), they are also working with the Rheinmetall Mission Master SP, which is a wheeled UGV that can also be armed.
