China is training robot soldiers. We should start developing EMPs.

DEPLOY THE TREBEUCHET. Maybe Einstein was correct to say no matter what ww3 will be fought with, ww4 will be sticks n stones.

The real answer is drones currently. Small, agile, cheap. What advantage does a humanoid robot have over drones?

Opening doors for example currently drones are very good at open field warfare but have problems with for example bunkers
