   No its classed as an unpleasant way of killing youself while doing   
   minimal damage.   
      
   1000 Ci is a typical source used in radiotherapy but you have forgotten   
   a fundamental law of physics, the inverse square law - look it up.   
      
   So your cunning plan would be very nasty for the poor sap loading the   
   source from the lead box and of course your robot and its operator would   
   be a priority target for mortars, artillery, mortars and AT weapons.   
   Finally of course the enemy would retaliate with a weapon that is   
   actually effective, accurate and powerful like GPS guided cluster   
   munitions or switchblade drones. Ask the Russians about them, there is a   
   reason so many senior Russian commanders have died in Ukraine.
