Robots vs Military Aircrafts

When a Chinese military aircraft crashed and killed all 40 people on board, Japanese media were alert to recent report in Hong Kong that the military airplane is actually new type of Alert Military developed-KJ2000, by Chinese themselves.

China was in negotiation with Israelis in buying the core Radar technology, but because of strong opposition from Washington, Israelis backed off. China has to develop the aircraft on its own. The aircraft would be very useful facing a possible intrusion of air territory.

Just when Sino-US military relations warm up recently, people still can't forget the 2001 EP3 incident between Chinese Air force and American Spy planes, in which a Chinese plane crashed and the pilot was killed, and US plane was forced to land in Hainan Island.

But how about a Robot can do in this case, if there is a robot plane to try out, then there may be no such lose of valuable lives? Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank in Washington DC, has a discussion with irobots co-founder and chairman, Helen Greiner, check the video here.
