A captured agent can "slip". That's why China will use robot spies

"China intends to create robotic and shape-shifting drones with artificial intelligence for special operations. They are intended to replace people on particularly dangerous missions.

 

China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) has announced a plan to develop robotic special agents using artificial intelligence by 2035. According to the South China Morning Post, such machines would replace human agents in dangerous missions, especially foreign ones. The use of machines would also reduce the risk to military planners in the event that "agents" were intercepted by the enemy. They could then simply be destroyed remotely, and in the meantime people could be broken down during interrogation and provide information.

 

It flies, dives, kills

 

The new drone, designed as a shape-shifting unmanned aerial vehicle, should be able to fly long distances, dive deep underwater and remain hidden for long periods of time. Once ordered, it can quickly emerge from the water, move towards its target and deliver a fatal blow before disappearing underwater again.

 

The special operations robot announcement came from PLA Unit 78092, which recently published details of a hypothetical overseas special operations plan in the journal Fire Control & Command Control. According to this scenario, in 2035 there will be a minor conflict between China and one of its neighboring countries. The parties agree to use only conventional weapons, such as small boats, drones and anti-aircraft guns, to keep losses low and prevent escalation. The scenario does not provide the name of the other country, but refers to a river flowing along the border of both nations. The river has a maximum depth of 40 meters. China shares many rivers with neighboring countries that could meet these criteria, such as the Yarlung Tsangpo/Brahmaputra River, which is vast and deep and runs from Tibet to India.

 

The Chinese scenario assumes the use of only drones. They must be designed for special operations, operating alone or in swarms, navigating river depths, avoiding detection, and even firing small torpedoes at enemy boats. The Army also suggests that the drones will be equipped with advanced intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems to hover over the battlefield, assess damage and determine whether further action is necessary after the initial attack.

 

If enemy forces attempt to escape, drones must be able to pursue and eliminate them, ensuring complete victory before returning to Chinese territory. It is not yet known what the outcome of this scenario will be for potential developers, but according to today's reports, the Chinese military is aiming to dominate the UAV industry thanks to its superior technology and numerical superiority. According to PLA unit 78092, China has successfully launched its special operations drone project and plans to introduce more innovative equipment to meet its growing defense needs."

 

Oh, they will destroy our tanks and the flowers of the nation (Landsbergius, Kaščiūnas, Anušauskas and his wife). It is necessary to urgently drain the lakes, rivers and Baltic Sea of Lithuania. Where is that stupid German from the EU government Ursula Gertrud von der Leyen looking...
