Wars With Robot Armies

US army is going to replace human soldiers with robot soldiers in future. They already used bomb-sniffing robots to detect buried bombs in Afghanistan. Now they wanna extend this idea. The Us officials named this project as "new Manhattan project" and backed by billions of dollars.

Future military machines range from the Searcher, a small reconnaissance robot that will climb stairs, open doors and detonate booby traps, to the Hunter Killer, a pack of 10 roving attack robots linked by a Wi-Fi network. Pentagon want to deploy various types of unmanned vehicles by 2010.

Critics worry that killing will become as easy as that of video games. Till now we saw robot battles in either video games or movies. But US army wants to make it real. One thing is sure: surely it will lead to bloodier combat.
