Military conflicts are expensive in many ways. They not only cost a lot in terms of money and resources, but they also often cost many lives. No country wants to send its citizens to fight and die, which is why technology like drones has become so appealing to the world's superpowers. Russia is in the midst of a number of ongoing conflicts that require the threat of — and in some cases the application of — some measure of military force. Russia's defense minister, Sergei Shoigu, is the man tasked with managing those conflicts, and rather than imagining what the future of warfare might look like, it seems Shoigu has been inspired by the past.
As Popular Mechanics reports, Shoigu recently appeared at a session of the Russian Geographical Society, and made some absolutely incredible statements that could be taken to mean that Russia is open to the idea of cloning humans for warfare. Even more jaw-dropping is the fact that Shoigu doesn't appear to want to clone everyday soldiers, but rather ancient warriors that did their fighting on horseback, long before advanced military technology or even firearms existed.
