The major factor instigating the adoption of autonomous weapons is rising war casualties. Recently, global war tension has significantly increased, contributing to a higher rate of war casualties. As per Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's press note, 31,000 Ukrainian soldiers have been fataled in action in the two years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Whereas, official casualty figures provided by the Russian government to an independent Russian news outlet Mediazona were about 75,000 fighting in the wars.
