If russia replaced human soldiers with ground robots, they would just rotate human soldiers to another front right away. They’ll celebrate the increase of their capability to murder, at any human cost.

Exactly. And humans would be treated as more dispensible, being cheaper to Russia than a robot.

Then they lose, Russias big advantage is that they have millions of people that they are willing to throw away.

Russia already did. Robots in Russia are just conscripts. Biorobots. What did you think the average Russian believed when they threw North Korean soldiers at Ukraine?

Watched a video on the dangers of catapulting out of a plane and just seems perhaps everything should be drones. Better to lose a plane without a pilot then go and hope they can be rescued. Same for ground troops. Leave the boots to special forces where no other option but to have a human execute. If we must fight. Let the machines have at it.

only the left leaning people want people on the frontline, the rest of the world knows how ugly the war is and why humans should not be near it

You can go to prison in Russia for criticizing the war - guess the country is run by leftists then. But oh shit, they're also great because they don't like gays and feminists and enforce "traditional values". Oh well, just another cognitive dissonance the rightoids have to live with.

Reminder, we do not want AI to make the decision of who to kill/not kill. Remote control combat platforms "good"...AI combat platform bad.
