The British army is struggling to recruit.

To compensate for the lack of human arms, she could use ... robots.

Of the 120,000 troops who will make up the army in ten years, 30,000 will be machines, the UK Chief of Defense Staff told Sky News in an interview.

A quarter of the army's workforce would therefore be robots, according to comments reported by 

.

Indeed, while the authorities counted on 82,050 soldiers, they currently have only 73,870 soldiers in the ranks of the army, according to

.

Reconnaissance and combat devices

Technology must therefore compensate for recruitment difficulties.

From drones to land vehicles or even remote-controlled submarines, all army corps will see the arrival of autonomous or remote-controlled machines.

Some aircraft will be engaged in reconnaissance missions and others, equipped with weapons, will be combat capable.

The army has already successfully tested the i9 drone, a device equipped with a rifle and capable of flying indoors.

It would therefore be suitable for urban warfare.

The arrival of robot soldiers contingents should be discussed when reviewing UK Defense multi-year spending.

This had to be postponed last month, due to the coronavirus health crisis.
