#Controversy brews over use of autonomous killer robots in war People are promised their quality of life will improve with the advances of technology,
As the science advances, it becoming increasingly possible to dispatch robots into war zones alongside or instead of human soldiers.
Their use in war would likely save lives in the short run, but many worry that they would also result in more armed conflicts
and erode the rules of war and that not even considering what would happen if the robots malfunctioned
or were hacked. Seeing a slippery slope ahead human rights groups began lobbying last year for lethal robots to be added to the list of prohibited weapons that includes chemical weapons.
In January, the Army successfully tested a robotic self-driving convoy that would reduce the number of personnel exposed to roadside explosives in war zones like Iraq and Afghanistan.
In more cluttered environments like the cities where most recent wars have been fought, the sensing becomes less accurate.

#Russia Orders Helicopters For Its New Amphibious assault Ships Russia recently ordered a batch of new attack helicopters,

or (in wars) go forth and take the beaches. The contract with French shipbuilders specified two Mistral class ships built in France,
They'll be the first amphibious assault ships for Russia. It's likely each of the four ships would only fly eight attack helicopters so the full order for 32 indicates that Russia expects full delivery of the ships.
what military use the Mistral would add to the war in Ukraine, even with the planned Ka-52k helicopters.
If Russia were to escalate its involvement in Ukraine's war from supporting separatists to formal participation,
should tensions like the 2008 Russia-Georgia war flare up again. Presently, the Mistral-class ships wouldn't let Russia do all that much more in the wars it's most likely to fight,
as Russia shares land borders with the neighbors they're most prone to invade. Regardless of actual military utility, the international community is excited less about the sale, especially after Russia's seizure of Crimea and Moscow's ongoing support for the separatists that shot down a Malaysian airliner.
