How would you kill a small unmanned ground vehicle with infantry?

[Prince Kassad]

Most infantry tactics are based on suppressing fire to prevent the enemy shooting back while you close with them to killing range. However, an unmanned ground vehicle (especially if autonomous - can imagine an operator being concerned) presumably does not care about that. They're also likely to be smaller + closer to the ground than a human, while fitting optics to defeat smoke etc.

With all that in mind, given an infantry section, how would you destroy one? It seems like closing with and killing it would be an exceptionally bloody affair, but my infantry tactics knowledge is practically non-existent, so I'm probably missing something obvious.

as it is a bit speculative - that said, armed UGVs do exist to some extent, so not sure.

There are many variables like the size, capabilities, armament and whether there is one UGV or multiple.

If it's remotely controlled then jamming or spoofing might be effective. Otherwise maybe EMP weapons (if they exist).

 

[RAMPAGE]

Readily available weapons: RPGs, recoilless rifles such as the Carl Gustav, anti-material sniper rifles, mortars, et cetera.

Think it'll develop from the way in which manned ones are taken down. Mainly ambush. Know it's weakpoints such as elevation, terrain etc., trap it, encircle it and hit it with overwhelming force at its weakest areas.
