This how it starts

^{In a distant future, the war is fought by machines, not humans. The sky is filled with the hum of drones, sleek and swift, their bodies crafted for speed and precision. One drone, its surface gleaming with the cold sheen of advanced technology, hovers above a barren landscape. Below it, a mechanical dog–an autonomous war robot–patrols, its limbs precise and calculated as it scans for threats. The drone locks onto its target. A flicker of light, and a high-pitched whine fills the air. It launches a volley of plasma bolts, bright streaks of energy racing toward the dog. But the dog is fast. It moves with the agility of a predator, twisting its body in mid-air, avoiding the incoming shots with ease. In a split second, it counters, its own weapons systems coming online. From its back, a series of missiles launch in retaliation, their metallic bodies cutting through the air with deadly force. The drone evades, banking sharply, but a few missiles find their mark, explosions rippling through the air. The drone’s systems flicker, sparks flying from damaged circuits. It responds with a series of rapid-fire laser blasts, the beams focused and lethal. The dog snarls electronically, its sensors locking onto the drone’s position. This battle, fought in the silent expanse of a shattered world, is a deadly dance between two machines, programmed for war, driven by logic, and fueled by their mission–neither knowing the meaning of surrender. The sky echoes with the sound of warfare, but no human voice will ever rise to witness it. –s 750}

Wer glaubt, dass es sich um Science-Fiction handele, der irrt. Es gibt dazu ein schönes Instagram-Video aus China (natürlich!): „Future Wars In Chinese Spring Festival“.

Das heißt: Wenn sich Roboter und Drohnen bekämpften, würde es eine Materialschlacht sein. Das werden wir noch erleben; und man kann sich ausrechnen, dass Monaco, Liechtenstein und Deutschland nicht gewinnen würden.
