Supposedly some of these countries have an ultimate doomsday weapon, a scalar one:

an autonomous sniper platform covering 500 meters of thoroughfare makes a windage and elevation correction in the blink of an eye and drops you with a single round by the time you've crossed the median strip.
And that thing doesn't even need legs. Never sleeps. Never blinks. Set it and forget it.

They would have to be pretty crappy robots.
Decent killbots are going to perceive your location long before you know where they are. You round a corner and whammo, or they bounce a grenade around the corner if they get tired of waiting, etc.
Honestly I'm starting to think that the retard-bots we see on television are just a form of social conditioning to ease us into the idea that autonomous killing robots are no real threat, and they could be easily defeated if you ever had to fight against them.
The reality is that if you found yourself in a war zone and you needed to do something as simple as cross the street then you might pop your head around the corner for a second and take a glance (but it would be pointless because at 200 yards in a war zone spotting a stationary dog sized bot would be impossible) so you think you're in the clear and you're in mid run half way across the road when an autonomous sniper platform covering 500 meters of thoroughfare makes a windage and elevation correction in the blink of an eye and drops you with a single round by the time you've crossed the median strip.

Don't get comfortable with the idea that you could realistically fight these things. In movies nobody ever needs to do anything except fight them and conspicuously absent is the question of travel, food gathering/growing, water collection, shifting entire FOBs because a single moron left a blood trail leading back when a drone "fucked up" on purpose and only hit him in the leg.
