We know that AI is a tool that can be terrifying in the hands of the military. And the military must be terrifying because its mission is to protect people. For that purpose, the military needs the best equipment. That the military industry can create.
The war in Ukraine shown how effective drones are. That means drones are successful tools for seeking enemies, and another thing is that drones are suitable weapons. If we want to turn kamikaze- drones into the unmanned bomber, that can hit two targets in the same trip.
The pizza drone can drop a bomb at the point, where it should carry pizza. Then it can attack against a second target with an internal warhead. The system is very easy to modify, and that's why drones are effective and dangerous systems. The drone swarm can cover large areas. And the drones can share information very effectively. The drone can use the AI-based enemy recognition system. So, when a drone sees a target, it can attack immediately.
The drone can cooperate with land-moving autonomous vehicles and automatized firebases. There is a possibility, that the next-generation drones- or land or sea-moving systems can also fly. The Finnish-designed robot wagon can shoot targets using a 30 mm. cannon. And it can carry anti-tank mines.
That system is easy to modify into a land-moving car bomb. The system would be a modern version of the WWII "Goliath" miniature tank, that German forces created to destroy enemy targets. The Goliath was a land-moving vehicle that carried explosives. Modern technology allows us to turn robots into land-moving car bombs.
The same technology, that was developed for "flying cars" is possible to use for those combat robots. The robot can travel to the target through air, and then it can drive into the bunkers.
When we are looking at the U.S NAVY newest drone called the Manta Ray, we can ask possibility, that maybe we see quite soon the "Flying submarine" drone. Those drones might travel underwater, and if their target is in the middle of land, they can travel by air to attack that target.
There are smaller drones that can operate underwater and airborne. The Kamikaze-version of those drones can equipped with nuclear warheads. And the success of sea drones in Ukraine makes them more popular in other militaries. Maybe the Manta Ray itself cannot make that thing. But its successors might have that capacity.

The kamikaze-drone boats can equipped with anti-aircraft missiles and anti-tank missiles. The boat can make routine patrol missions. There it can defend itself against helicopters and aircraft with the missiles. They can use anti-tank missiles against small targets or disturb and destroy things like target ships's radars and cannons. The main weapon of that drone can be an internal warhead.
The thing is that Ukraine successfully used drones against the Russian navy at the Black Sea. Those surface-moving drones are harder targets than expected. The surface-moving drones have limited capacity. But if those drones can submerge and send other drones, they can be more effective than ever before.

A new attacker requires new counter-actors. And that means nuclear power can be the power source for the next-generation tanks, that use direct energy weapons. But people forget that the Chrysler Corporation produced the first nuclear-powered tank TV-8 in 1955. Ford Motor Corporation patented Ford Nucleon, a nuclear-powered pick-up in 1957. Those vehicles show that nuclear power is suitable, also for ground vehicles. The fact is that the nuclear-powered version of the TV-8 ever completed. But it was a study project for other concepts.
Drones can also make other than just explosive attacks. They can drop copper wires over the high-voltage cables. Military forces around the world are looking for counter-action systems against drone swarms. Micro- or radiowaves can jam or destroy drone swarms. The EMP impulses are suitable tools against drones. The problem in defense is that the opponent can use large-size drone swarms. They can deliver from air, ground, or ships. Drone attackers don't require special equipment. And they can drop drones from the back hatch of the cargo plane.
So, the defender needs tools that are independent of the ammunition. Direct energy weapons are suitable for that purpose. And those systems require new power sources, like portable nuclear reactors. The tank that uses laser- and microwave weapons can use the nuclear reactor as a power source. In those systems, high-power lasers and microwave systems replaced the cannons. Vehicles like Ford Nucleon and Chrysler Corporation's nuclear-powered tank TV-8 show that nuclear power could be suitable for land vehicles. And the laser-weapons require lots of power.
