Are these called drones? I thought drones flew.
The article calls this a "Ukrainian unmanned ground vehicle armed with a machine gun" and the headline calls it a "Ukrainian Combat Robot". Not a "drone" like the submitter's title has.
Edit: it seems like the creator calls it a "droid". Is that just them, or is that becoming standard terminology for a kind of ground-based "soldier-robot"? See:

- tart-lemonade 7mo agoThe <title> tag is "Ukrainian Drone Holds Position for 6 Weeks". OP probably hit the "fetch title" button or copy-pasted from a chat app embed when submitting.
- esseph 7mo agoDrone is just a generic term. There are more specific terms for specific types of vehicles, and some of those terms have changed over the past few decades. UGV = unmanned ground vehicle UAS = unmanned aerial system UAV = unmanned aerial vehicle UUV = unmanned underwater vehicle Etc
