The US already has them.

Do you have a source for this? These sound uncannily close to the Slaughterbots short film...

I'll try and remember to dig it out later. It was a sales demo from a weapon's company. I can't remember exactly which one it was, but the implications scared the shit out of me.

Are you certain you're not thinking of the Sci-Fi Short Film "Slaughterbots"? The plot is almost exactly what you describe.

Apparently I'm an idiot. I saw a modified version, mixed in amongst other legit videos.
