Russia effectively uses UAVs on the battlefield, while China leads the world in the production of space drones, making the countries best prepared for future conflicts, Milley and Schmidt said in an article for US magazine Foreign Affairs, adding that while the United States still has the most developed AI systems, Moscow and Beijing are gaining pace in this sector as well.
Currently, there is no country that is fully prepared for the conflicts of the future, no country builds enough equipment required for the construction of the necessary amount of robotized weaponry and no country has developed software fit for full-scale implementation of automated weapons, the article said.
However, some countries have advanced the development of "weapons of the future" further than others, the article continued, adding that the US military is not prepared for the conflicts of the future and that the country's armed forces require reforms.
