Why do you think it is better than future developments of Crusher?

Crusher? I am not familiar with that, and therefore cannot compare.

Crusher is the most recent DARPA UCGV prototype, presumably it is an example of the kind of platform that the Abrams support vehicles are going to be built on. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crusher_(robot)

You think this Russian thing is better, why?

Well, I wasn't talking about comparing it to the Crusher. I was comparing it to a thing that went along with manned vehicles, which still put soldiers in harms way.

Not only Drone-tanks IRL, but nuclear ones too!

AFAICT the Uran-9 is significantly less autonomous than the US UPI prototypes that will form the basis of future US UCGVs
