Stealth, Deception, PenAids (EW), and then simple OverSaturation will be the ways to get through.

Add networking and lots of drones.
This is the public consumption demo. I will bet you $100 Dollars cash money and actual way more advanced squad of Robots that make this thing look like a toy already exists.

The whole thing is CGI my dude.
I know. But things are put out for more than entertainment or public consumption. They are also done to make enemies worry. DARPA already has shown real tests of robots doing similar things.
If you got a look at all the black budget projects that aren't publicly disclosed yet. You would shit yourself. Real life Terminators are very much real now.
You have a point.I still bet on marine - unless it is new lgbt+56 dude.
You have also a point.They exist,but could be trusted? not Skynet fairy-tale,but either overlooking enemies,or killing everytching which moves.
dead childrens stomped by new USA robots would not look good in TV.

That’s one heck of a claim to make.

Looking at some of the stuff that was used during the Gulf War, and is still classified, we can probably say that black budget programs average about 5-10 years ahead of the public. Currently we have the battery technology and are close to the AI technology to make something like the Terminator a reality. However, just because DARPA could have done it doesn't mean that they did.

If such things do exist, I'd expect less 'squads of Terminators' and more 'Armored robot that serves as point man for each squad;' more resilient to bullets, easier to repair than put a man back together, and if you do lose it, you've only ultimately lost money.
Plus, then you have a team of infantrymen to deal with all the shit that robots just aren't good at, and with the incentive to keep it in working order so that it can continue to act as their bullet sponge.
It is way more than 5 to 10 years. Try 30 to 40 years. That Microwave weapon in the link I posted earlier. Weapons like it were being tested in the Caribbean test range over 30 years ago. Everything you see in the media being in the test phase is already mature technology. I will say it now. When you hear news of tests of a new conventional warhead that has a 1 to 2 kiloton yield. Remember I told you about it way before they say it is being tested.
One technique to attempt to oversaturate the target on the cheap.
Sounds like my workplace.
It's a guarantee that what the military is using now as "new and high-tech" is already at least two, three generations behind what's being developed in R+D labs, and what's in the civilian sector is like four/five.
Robot dogs running around on camera? A lab somewhere likely has a bipedal model which can be armed with standard weaponry, like a crude Terminator model (like the T-300/400 series).
Energy weapons? Probably already got prototypical designs or plans that can fit on a tank chassis, where the public sees only older, more mature prototypes and pre-production shit on ships and based in land-based testing facilities.
Want historical examples? Cold War shit that's normal, standard stuff now, but at the time looked like they came from sci-fi movies or "aliens" to people at the time, like the various spy planes.
They're already halfway finished on a bomb-bay module for the F-35. It's a goddamn laser weapon capable of taking down planes, drones, and missiles at such a distance that the plane wouldn't even be a speck on the horizon before a Chinese or Russian plane spontaneously explodes for "no reason".
The US R+D is pretty much where a lot of conspiracy theorists may actually be right about certain technologies and capabilities.

Sounds like project star wars style counter Intel to me.
Far more than a missile, a laser or any other sort of directed-energy weapon is going to require Line Of Sight.
And if they are sending that much energy through the air, it is not going to be invisible. Even if the wavelength the laser uses is UV or IR, the atmosphere it heats up is going to show.

If you put 3000 watts into a laser, expect to take 2000 watts coming right back out as heat.
