Difference between killer- and an industrial robot is only in their programming.

In the real world, we all want to say "no" to autonomous combat robots, what might be the greatest threat for peace today. The artificial intelligence makes possible to make robots, what are looking innocent, and they can be used in some normal work, but when they would see the targeted object, what have ordered to exterminate those robots would attack that target immediately. In this case let's say as an example the gardener robot would noticed something treating, that robot can be transforming as the combat robot, and maybe in that robot's arms is hired machine guns or laser weapons, and when something, what is ordered to exterminate would come in sight, would the wrist turn down, and uncover the nasty surprise.


This example, what I just gave, is one of the most feared things in the world of robotics. It is known as the "ghost protocol", and that means that normally the peaceful working robot would turn to combat robot, when it notices the target, what is dangerous for it or it masters. When some nation would say "no" to killer robots, they have forgotten that only programming would make difference between peaceful and the killer robot.  And in the real situation, the operators of the robots would just upload combat programs in those working robots by using the Internet. And this means that there is a change, to make the full army of robots in seconds by using industrial robots, what are equipped with those combat programs.


The Russians are always against this kind of programs because they have no experience in building the sophisticated robots, but their way to make new nuclear missiles authorizes Western world to make autonomous killer robots. And this is the problem with robotics, the same machine can do many missions, like working in the mining sites and other dirty and dangerous places. If the robots are made looking like humans, they could use same tools as humans, but in this case "one model fits all" can get the notorious shape because those human-shaped robots can also be used as the warriors because they can operate with normal infantry weapons. And the use of those weapons is needs only the program update, that those robots could transfer as the combat models in one second, by sending those programs by using the Internet.

The technical equipment like drones is very dangerous in the wrong hands.

This might be future of the battlefield. The problem with that kind of weapon systems is that they already exist. And they are very easy to manufacture without any special skills. In the tomorrow we might see the time when the terrorists attack against the targets with miniature drones, what anyone can buy from the shops. Even the street gangs can build the drone what shoots with the submachine gun, by just installing the remote controlled winch and wire what pulls the trigger of the MAC-10 sub-machine gun, and I’m waiting with a terrible mind when the first gangs attack against their rivals with those drones.



The most simple way to modify those toys to killing machines is just put the dynamite below it and fly the machine against the target. And in simulations what The United States and Russian military have made, is the result of the attack against the troops with that kind of equipment caused 80 % casualties for normal military formation. That is why those weapons are very dangerous and effective.


Also, Jasser Arafat and Alexander Litvinenko were murdered by drones, what carried Polonium in their drink water or food. But the murder of Litvinenko was uncovered the reason, that the murderer used so unusual material, that the Polonium was the reason why this case is investigated as a murder, in Arafat case I’m not sure was the reason of death the poisoning, because Arafat was very old man, and I’m not sure about his physical condition. And that death might also be fit.


But there is more deadly assassination weapon exist. That is a mechanic mosquito, what have been created to collect the blood samples from apes and other species. That same machine can inject deadly chemicals like ricin and botulinum toxin to it targets, and this kind of weapons are ideal for the assassination, and the United States special police and Air Force have been created small flying robots what are look like tinderboxes. Those robots are meant to use in the special situations, where troops or the civilians are under the fire of the snipers.

But this kind of equipment is under the control of the human controllers, who can destroy them when something unexpected is going to happen. But if those drones are automatically working, the risks might be very devastating and horrifying. In this scenario, some hackers will take a control for some drone Schwarm, and after that, they will in purpose or by accident will give those weapons the order of attack against the people. The threat what those drones can cause the public safety is very huge. And in the wrong hands, those systems might make very bad damages.

The problems with the killer robots

There is one thing, what people don't realize when they are talking about the limitation of weapon systems. No army will ever decrease it firepower or fighting capacity. Do you know why gas weapons are prohibited? They have no effect against military men, and the second thing is that gas doesn’t make outer damages and that’s why enemy might play death until own troops are passed their lines, and after that shoot the attacker back.


Then there might be lots of casualties of that attack, where is used gas. Do you know why dumdum bullets are prohibited? They are useless against body armor. And flamethrowers are prohibited because they risk the life of the user of that weapon. If the military person uses flamethrower, he must carry the fuel on his back. And if enemy opens fire, that person will offer the higher target for the shooter, who might shoot the fuel tank of that weapon. But now there are people who want to deny killer robots.


The problem of that action is that those weapons already exist. And the attempts to deny those weapon systems are doomed, because those people will stamp as Russian agents, and those weapon system supporters will say that this media attention is a result for thing, that Russia has got no technology or know how-how this kind of machines must be built, as they why those people want to deny them. The problem with the killer robots is that they are conventional weapon systems.


Those terminators coordinate as the machine gun users, and there is one great problem with those robots. The killer robots minimize human victims in the own troops when they are going to the operational zone. And this is the reason, why those machines can make the wars too easy way to handle diplomatic disputes. And the war is of course very bad catastrophe for the area, where it happens.


They save lives of the military men, and that is enough for the countries,  what develops those weapons. And the war is not the game. There are people dying, and that is the reason why those robots are created. Everybody knows that is not fair, that operator sits another side of the world, when he or she kills a couple of people, but the target would not able to shoot down even normal fighter-bomber what is flying over 10 000 meters high, and uses smart weapons to attack the target.


The killer drones are coordinated with cruise missiles, and also there will be not able to shoot back those operators. And war is not the fair play. Normal military men shoot back their enemies, and they sometimes get angry when somebody shoots them. That is the reason, why killer robots are made under high control of the military. Robot operators are sitting in the command center, and if somebody becomes unstable the commanders can remove him immediately from that base. And that’s one reason, why those drones are created. If the fighter pilot sits alone in his fighter, there is possible that he goes in psychos in that plane. If that pilot sits in the command center, they can put under arrest immediately. The ability to take involved in operations makes the killer robots very attractive thing in the hands of military commanders.


And of course, robot fighters can make movements, what will crush human pilots. Those fighters seem like normal airplanes, but there is no pilot aboard. The robot fighter UCAV (Unmanned Combat Aerial Vehicle) is similar drone than Predators, but they are controlled by the ball simulators. Those systems are very effective if the enemy can’t cut their communication datalink. But there is a possibility to make the full automatized version of the robot fighter. Those systems bases the technology, what is known as the IFF (Identification Friend or Foe). This automatized recognition system allows the system of robot fighter to shoot any target, who doesn’t give the right signal from their electronic systems. Any fighter in the world can change as a UCAV, and full automatized bombers are probably already in the service.



The bombardment will happen with modified DSMAC (Digital Scene-Matching Area Correlation) system, that recognizes the target compiling the camera's picture, with the picture what has taken from the target. That system gives robot drone a capacity for operating in tactical situations like anti-tank operations.  Or the bombardment will happen with GPS-system if it will target the fixed targets like bunkers or industrial platforms and missile silos. The bomber will fly over the one GPS-point, and then the GPS-guided bombs will be dropped from the plane, what might fly very high altitude. Those weapons might have nuclear warheads.This type of hydrogen bomb might be the precision-guided version of the GPS-controlled conventional bomb, and they can strike precise in the top of missile silo hatches or to the doors of commanding bunkers.
