What does Infantry do that a UGV cant do outside of digging holes and hiding like rats(there are drones for digging holes too btw)
And if you say room clearing just fly in an FPV drones with explosives.
Shits killed even jets moving like it was Korea war 2.0 Props vs Jets

I just want the GXV-T jump tank concept with anti-air slapped on

Infantry can act while jammed.

>>63939867 (OP)
Occupy territory. A UGV can kill a target but it can't hold a line and it's important to make sure infantry isn't slipping into the areas you're operating your UGVs from.

>>63939867 (OP)
At least drone themselves aren't as obnoxious as you dronefags.

being a shabbos goim

>>63940186
it's really not that hard though
all you really need is rudimentary image analysis

>>63940285
> A UGV can kill a target but it can't hold a line
yea
a HMG positioned to overwatch something like a river can't hold a line
... because ... because it just can't

you do realize that you can resupply UGVs as well?
and you do realize that UGVs can actually do without resupply a lot longer than your average infantry squad can?

in the case of solar powered UGVs the only problem you might face (in an ideal situation) could be that you run out of ammo but this can be handled by resupplying it via drones

>>63940389
> uhm actually they can't hold a line
> ... ok they can but this is a 1% situation
goalpoststatus: moved

also I would argue that it's actually the opposite,
situations where it would be hard for a UGV to hold the line being the exception

Software isn't that good and you're going to have it shoot at rustling leaves or nothing at all.

>>63940541
> Software isn't that good
it literally is
especially when your Drone is equipped with Thermals

> you're going to have it shoot at rustling leaves or nothing at all.
unlike real soldiers right?

>>63940305
You mean the rudimentary image analysis that can be spoofed just by putting a post-it note with a word different from the object on something?

>>63940596
> tell me you are a retarded redditnigger that believes urban legends from 20 years ago still hold true without telling me that you are
also how does a post-it note help with Thermals?

>>63940423
>you do realize that you can resupply UGVs as well?
And may I ask who is resupplying these UGVs?

>>63940642
my nigga I literally wrote it in the same post that it can be done via drones

also you can always do the following
> send fresh UGV to the front
> pull other one back and resupply
> repeat
it's really not that hard

>What does Infantry do

99% of the time it's janny work. Good luck getting your kamikaze drone to dust the light switches (more than once).

Fiber optic UGVs can't be jammed. That's what they are working on. They are having trouble even reliably controlling UGVs past 100m with normal signals anyway.

>>63940285
>hold a line
It is unironically better at holding lines than human soldier. Human soldiers usually go
>OMG IS THAT A DRONE SOUND, IM GONNA RETREEEEEEEEEAT
And the enemy is free to crawl forward. A UGV can't be afraid. There is no fear of death, only of damaging hardware, which is barely anything to mentally surmount. As long as the weapon doesn't jam and doesn't run out of ammo (something normal soldiers struggle with too) it can hold a position for a very long time, and they do.

>hurrdurr people are needed to fill the ammo cans
It doesn't matter because the soldiers don't have to risk their lives to do that, current UGVs work in rotations just like normal soldiers do. Plus I am sure they are trying to get the resupply UGVs to be able to do that for the weaponized UGVs without human intervention. The future is definitely headed this way. The only real holdup is fiber optics production right now all being sucked into making aerial drones as fast as possible to keep up with Russia. Commanders are too afraid to try something different right now and potentially fuck something up

>>63940104
Are you sure about that?

>>63940317
>what about hypothetical technology that has actually been used in the field effectively yet?

This isn't call of duty anon, fully autonomous turrets that can reliably target enemies and not friendlies isn't a thing yet. Also an mg nest needs to be constantly being supplied with ammo, even if we had fully autonomous and reliable HMG nests you would still need people there to keep it functioning and supplied.

>>63940288
Dubs of truth.

Infantry can operate without clear LOS to a transmitter

That's not what holding a line is dumbass otherwise you would be able to do it with aircraft. And of course the UGV doesn't feel fear, do you think a gun feels fear? The thing the matters is the operator and a fiber optic drone operator is going to feel fear if he knows there isn't a dudes in front of him making sure people don't sneak up on him while he's flying a drone around.

Yes and we're going to by fighting on the moon next. Basing your analysis on the speculative capabilities of future tech is pointless when you don't know what the actual limitations of that tech is. In the same post you handwave jamming by saying drones use fiber optic cables anyways while ignoring the inherent limitations of using fiber optic drones.

>What does Infantry do that a UGV cant do
anything that requires situational awareness, dexterity or prolonged presence
>there are drones for digging holes
can I see them making a foxhole in 20 minutes?

The only thing i can see them not replacing for now Is SOF and snipers.

niggas in this thread be like
> nooo UGV might never work
> too futuristic!
> also it can't dig foxholes (even dough it actually can and even dough it doesn't need them

you niggas would be the boomers screeching in the 1890s about how using MGs is dishonorabou, Steel helmets are for the weak and Tanks are a ridiculouse idea because they scare the horses

unlike real soldiers who never engage in Friendly Fire
amirite?

amirite?
