World War 3: 'Killer Robots And Biological Weapons Will Transform Warfare Forever' Says Navy Chief

Killer robots and biological weapons and nerve agents such as Novichok which was used in the assassination attempt of  Russian double-agent Sergei Skripal will be employ to change the face of warfare forever, a senior Royal Navy Commander has warned.

According to him, threats to the security of the United Kingdom were "more delicate now than they have been for decades."

Captain Jerry Kyd handed over the command of aircraft carrier, HMS Queen Elizabeth, the navy's biggest vessel, after bringing it to New York, and painting a horrific image of the future.

He said: "We are on the verge of a new era in military affairs", adding that warfare in the decades is going to be quite exciting."

Again, Captain Kyd, said, "I think the associate of militarisation, quantum computing of automatic fighting components, whether it is in the air, the surface or subsurface, the ability of computers and machines to make fast decision making loops - I think will basically transform the manner of warfare.

"I think it is an interesting but deeply terrifying future, where I think the ethics and morals of war will be tested, and where we will see, I am sure, robots engaged in killing other human beings."

In a statement when on the air craft preparing to sail into New York, he forecasted there will be an increase in other forms of warfare - not just chemical and biological, but also generic.

Besides, Captain Kyd said the nerve agent, Novichok attack in Salisbury against former Russian spy, Mr. Skripal is a classic reminder that the veneer of security is very thin."

He added, "I think the threat to the United Kingdom are more acute now than they have been for many decades."

Captain Kyd's words can be compare to those of Defence Secretary Williamson when he presented a speech at the Royal United Services Institution (RUSI) earlier this year at which he emphasized the importance of Royal Navy in keeping Britain safe in an uncertain world.

Mr Williamson said, "Look at Russia's resurgence under President Putin, its submarine activity has increased ten-fold in the North Atlantic.

"But that's not all. In 2010, the Royal Navy had to respond once to a Russian Navy Ship approaching UK territorial waters.

"Last year we had to respond 33 times.

Threats against us are increasing, coming out from Russia, China and from non-state actors using drones to drop bombs, ballistic missiles to attack airports and anti-ship missiles to threaten our narrow shipping laws as well as the new and evolving threats from cyber attacks."
