At the Alabino military training ground in the village of Kalininets took place presentation of the small-sized robotic tank “Uranus-9”. By According to Russian scientists, their new military development does not have the present moment of world analogues. Present at the show Russian and foreign experts were very impressed from a new brainchild of Russian developers.
Uranium-9 is remotely controlled by the operator. Main tasks robots are intelligence as well as combat support anti-terrorist, reconnaissance and combined arms brigades. The device is equipped with a highly advanced laser system. identification of enemy objects. The tank is equipped thirty millimeter gun, anti-tank missiles and twin machine gun. Such weapons are enough to fight effectively with enemies over two kilometers from the robot.
The tank is able to autonomously move, overcome various obstacles and detect targets. However, open fire he will be only with the permission of a living operator, and the point here is not the fear of its creators that the robot might make a mistake, but what is required so far by military ethics. Probably humanity has not yet ready for machines to decide when to destroy the enemy on the battlefield, and when to wait.
The capabilities of the robotic tank “Uranus-9”
The use of Uranus-9 should allow the Russian military and intelligence services significantly reduce losses among personnel during time of military operations.
You can control one or more robotic tanks will be from a mobile operator base based on an armored all-terrain vehicle. It is noteworthy that the tanks will transmit along the chain each other all the information received, repeatedly increasing by way communication range.
Tank “Uranus-9” can be operated in any weather conditions. The weight of the machine with a full set of ammunition is ten tons On the passage of a hundred kilometers a robotic tank spends about thirty-five liters of fuel.
Uranus-9 is a representative of the Russian military family equipment, which also includes Uranium-14, designed to extinguishing fires, and Uranium-6, which serves to clear the terrain. There are other innovative “uranium” developments, however information about them is still strictly classified.
