Several days ago The WinePress reported that Israel recently confirmed that they utilized the world’s first ever autonomous drone swarm that requires no human input, in their fight against Hamas.
In that report, there were rumors that other developed nations such as America, the U.K., China, and Russia were also developing similar AI drones.
Now China has officially thrown their hat in the ring.
Recently the Asian giant unveiled the development of an autonomous aquatic submarine-drone, that requires control and guidance from a driver. The drone will be able to fire torpedoes, and seek and destroy other enemy submarines and vessels.
According to The Sun, ‘The unmanned attack robot was first test fired in the Taiwan Strait a decade ago but its existence was not made public until now.’
The South China Morning Post reports that the project was funded by the People’s Liberation Army dating back to the 1990’s.
During tests, the drone was able to identity a dummy submarine and successfully launch a torpedo at it.
The drone-submarine requires absolutely no control and input from a person, as it relies 100% on artificial intelligence (AI).
‘Researchers described a 2010 test in the Taiwan Strait in which a drone was programmed to follow a pre-set course around 30ft below the surface,’ says The Sun.
After sonar detected the craft, the drone changed course and circled around to the target, utilizing onboard sensors to collect readings which are then analyzed by its computer. It then fired autonomously with a dead torpedo and hit the dummy target.
The lead developer, Professor Liang Guolong, stated with more advanced technology the drones can then hunt in packs.
The needs of future underwater warfare bring new development opportunities for unmanned platforms.
The researchers said in a paper, published by the Journal of Harbin Engineering University.
According to The Sun, observers said the timing of the release of this paper is noteworthy, as it is believed that China could be looking to invade self-governed Taiwan.
This also alerts the United States and its allies that defending the island nation may come with its own set of risks.
It is unclear why China has now declassified details of the test, but the tension over the Taiwan Strait has recently escalated to its highest point in decades.
Said the South China Morning Report
Last week, a Chinese state-ran paper reveled the precise battle plans detailing how Beijing (the capital of China) would overrun the Taiwan, leading some to worry about another potential for World War III.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[17] As for us, our eyes as yet failed for our vain help: in our watching we have watched for a nation that could not save us. [18] They hunt our steps, that we cannot go in our streets: our end is near, our days are fulfilled; for our end is come. [19] Our persecutors are swifter than the eagles of the heaven: they pursued us upon the mountains, they laid wait for us in the wilderness.Lamentations 4:17-19
[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.Mark 13:7-8
I do not believe there will be any World War III any time soon, but more of these tensions confirms what Jesus said what would happen, as it seems most nations have some sort of beef with each other now.
But beyond that, this report yet again demonstrates where the future continues to head with all this AI and unmanned warfare. Now it’ll be interesting to see if America or Russia unveils anything in the coming days weeks.
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

I wish I shared your assurance concerning war. Seems the sides of Gog-Magog are lining up to me, even with the same powers ultimately behind both ‘sides’, and fulfilling the word & will of God in spite of themselves. I’m curious, what scripture leads you to say that, because I must be missing something. ————————————————————————————————————————————————————– With regard to this technology, you just have to shake your head considering: What could go wrong with that? And categorize it in that ‘technology’ point of the six-sided star of Satan’s favorite philosophy. —————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— Perhaps Revelation 8:8-9 is God’s response in part to this particular facet of the competing technological race of men for acquiring power. As well as repeating some pattern of the judgment over the gods of Egypt in Exodus, & relating to the rejection of the Blood as Hebrews 9-13.
Ezekiel 38 takes place at the end of the 1000 year reign of Jesus Christ (compare with Revelation 20); and Eze 39 takes place at Armageddon (compare with Rev 19, 14; Luke 17; Job 39:26-30; etc.) Greg Miller’s interpretation that this war could happen before or proceeding the “rapture” is simply not true. Not only is his dating wrong, where is there a single mention of a truly western power in those battles? However, as I have said in other reports, the power is clearly shifting towards the East (Rev 16:12). If the world would enter in world war 3, that would ruin all the plans for the mark of the beast systems and technology, and the smart city capabilities, and would completely ruin trade. The world trade is practically run by China, including America’s allies, so they would not help at all.
