Reply to comment by PraiseThePun81 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

They’re cheaper and don’t put a human in danger. For the cost of one tank with crew you could have a dozen of these with a wider range of load outs. So you could have a few acting as mobile artillery, some for AA, some carrying arial drones,some acting as tanks, all for the cost of one tank. Kind of like a small modular land version of a carrier group.
