Pictures being shared online show what appear to be Russian-made suicide drones that use artificial intelligence to identify their targets.
The use ofkillerrobots like these is against internationally agreed-upon rules about what can or cannot be used on the battlefield.
The idea of a killer robot, where you have artificial intelligence fused with weapons, is being used.
The small jets seem to be of the same type as the KUB-BLA variety, a Kalashnikov-made drone that can be fired from a portable launcher and travel up to 80 mph for 30 minutes at a time.
They are designed to crash into a target, setting off over six pounds of explosives.
According to promotional material, the KUB-BLA features an intelligent detection and recognition of objects by class and type in real time.
