My thoughts about the third revolution in warfare

What? You might ask?

If you can build a Scarab beetle like you see in "Eye in the Sky" (2016) do you remember what the Scarab Beetle did in "The Mummy" series with Brendon Fraser? They burrowed into people and went straight to their hearts and killed them.

What's to stop people from creating one's like you see in "Eye in the Sky" that look just like a beetle but burrows into your skin and into your heart in an instant and kills you? In "Eye in the sky" the robot beetle only has a camera and flies into a house to observe remotely. But, imagine the same thing as being completely lethal within 1/2 second on the battlefield? And a moment before you just thought it was a strange live bug you had never seen before? It would be the last thing you saw.

And there isn't just this one idea but thousands just like it. And then what happens when terrorists get a hold of the plans to build something like this?

So, you could imagine a larger drone transporting thousands of little ones at night   into any city on earth or any location on earth. The drone being very quiet stays stationary at 400, or 4000 feet and then 1000 of these things fall out of the transport drone (which might only be 6 feet across or less) and very quiet. And soon 1000 people on the ground literally anywhere on earth are dead, whether they were armed soldiers or not.

This is coming in the future much quicker than you or I suspect at present.

So, I would say this sort of thing is the real problem with the "Third Revolution in Warfare" regarding Autonomous AI. In other words in the wrong hands this could or would extinct all or most of the human race. And once you make a prototype one could make millions of these things for not much money through mass production in any country on earth.  How far away would human extinction (or at least the end of civilization be?)
