Reply to comment by martinbogo in The killer ground drone revolution is here. The Netherlands has deployed four armed ground robots or unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), making it the first NATO country to do so. The robots are Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry Systems (THeMIS) UGVs built by the Estonian defense company Milrem Robotics. by mossadnik

The Soviets were using Teletanks a few years before then, in their war with Finland:

Presumably because The White Death kept killing the gunners by sending bullets down their little tanks’ gun barrels.

There are probably quite a few other examples of remote controlled ground weapons like this.

Still, these things seem pretty vulnerable.
