In Iraq they interceded to the service soldier- robots.

Up to 2011 the army OF THE USA plans to replace the part of its armament to the autonomous automated combat devices. Equipped with artificial conscience, they, it is completely possibly, will prove to be more humane, than soldiers from the flesh and the blood. In the wars of future the machines will become the enemy of man. The first steel soldiers already left in the battlefield during June, and this event not was noted by community. In Iraq to them it is charged to destroy rebels - i.e., to accomplish the task, entrusted to the armed forces OF THE USA. The combat automata with increase into one meter bear camouflage "near the desert", they are moved on the caterpillars and by its five eye- cameras they are capable of seeing, also, in the darkness. Directed by invisible hand, they guide to the target the black machine guns Of m2ya9. "this is the first armed robot in the history of war", say Charles din, engineer of manufacturer Foster- Miller from Voltkhema, state of Massachusetts. With great interest he even 70 colleagues of its division await news about how he wars to his three under wardship at the front. Their mission is held in the secret, and therefore inventors thus far do not know, it did happen to their mechanical soldiers, who received nickname Swords (swords), to kill people in the battlefield. Company to combat robots will soon compose others.

This is only question of time. Now American servicemen test the self-propelled device on name Gladiator, developed by the researchers of the institute of robots in Carnegie Mellon University, that is located in Pittsburgh, the state of Pennsylvania. The weight of this robot exceeds one ton, and on its rubber tracks it is capable to take lifts by slope into 60 percent. Armed forces equipped prototype with the camera of guidance and with the automaton Of m2ya0 with remote control. the "machine gun of postrelyal it is sufficient", be glad the Colonel Of terri Of griffin, the commander of the joint test program of the robots of the land and Navy.

Even if the subsequent tests pass successfully, then next year the four-wheeled version of "gladiator" can appear in Iraq (if are there still be located troops OF THE USA). Griffin says, that the combat robots can completely scatter the accumulations of people, using in this case three steps of the action: first through the loudspeaker "gladiator" it screams out warnings, then it shoots by rubber bullets and only at the end it begins to burn from the machine gun. More than half century passed after Ayzek Of azimov in the book "4, robot" fought for that so that the robot never would cause evil to man. But the development of automatic killers visited so far, that it to no longer stop. Both Swords and Gladiator - only forerunners of new type war, in which kill will be charged to mechanisms.

The armed apparatuses "find ever wider application on the fields of battles and they will soon become very extended", it communicates in the instruction for the internal use, comprised for the armed forces OF THE USA. To $200 billion Pentagon will intend to isolate into the program of modernization Future Combat System. Up to 2015 third of park of the armored machines and armaments it must be substituted with robots. In Israel the automation of war shooting also became basic tendency. The robot- snipers at present are established along the 60- kilometer strip of gas. The developed by the Israeli military concern Rafael fixed systems See-Shoot are equipped with automatic machine guns with the cameras. The distance of their battle reaches 1500 meters. From a military point of view much speaks in favor of conclusion to the fields of the battles of mechanical soldiers. They do not know fear and they do not get tired. They kill without the shadow of doubt, and even their loss in the battlefield differs from the loss of usual soldier - this not occasion to survive. New Sword stands approximately $150 thousand Therefore to politicians and for Generals it does not be necessary to fear, that the population will be agitated or will frighten: what already requiem on metal?
