Second Variety by Philip K. Dick (1928 - 1982)

Author: LibriVox

Early victories by the USSR in a global nuclear war cause the United Nations government to retreat to the moon leaving behind troops and fierce autonomous robots called Claws, which reproduce and redesign themselves in unmanned subterranean factories. After six bloody years of conflict the Soviets call for an urgent conference and UN Major Joseph Hendricks sets out to meet them. Along the way he will discover what the Claws have been up to, and it isnt good - Second Variety was first published in the May 1953 edition of Space Science Fiction Magazine.
