Breaking Defense: SecDef: China Is Exporting Killer Robots to the Mideast
For the first time, a senior Defense official has called out Beijing for selling lethal autonomy.
China is exporting drones that it advertises as having lethal autonomy to the Middle East, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday. It’s the first time that a senior Defense official has acknowledged that China is selling drones capable of taking life with little or no human oversight.
“As we speak, the Chinese government is already exporting some of its most advanced military aerial drones to the Middle East, as it prepares to export its next-generation stealth UAVs when those come oneline,” Esper said today at the National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence conference. “In addition, Chinese weapons manufacturers are selling drones advertised as capable of full autonomy, including the ability to conduct lethal targeted strikes.”

As I've written here before:
1. It is extremely hard to defend even the richest cities against drones (despite population concentration and wealth density, try to defend Manhattan from a drone swarm attack. Good luck!)
2. The drones used will likely be Chinese, as they are dirt cheap, good and easy to get without any track record.. there is almost no oversight. You can get military type drones and barely leave a trace
3. If such an attack occurs - it could cost less than $100k for several heavy duty drones, with programmed flight path etc. Anything from IEDs to acid could be used.. imagine a few drones spraying acid over densely populated area... or fentanyl.. .you can easily carry a kilogram fentanyl (get it in Mexcio, it's Chinese, like the drones, but you can get it in Mexcio..)...
1kilo fentanyl released over a densly populated area is no joke.. we are talking hundreds and hundreds of dead, easy
Fentanyl is Chinese response to the Opium wars, it feels like it
