The combat robot "Companion" will cost Russia 130 billion rubles

12

In Russia, work has begun on the creation of a line of combat robots "Companion" in the interests of the Ministry of Defense. According to the documentation posted on the State procurement website, the first stage, which must be completed before the end of this year, involves the development of a power plant, an optical-location station, a technical vision system, a combat vehicle, etc. The total cost of these works exceeds 130 billion rubles.

The Kalashnikov concern, which owns the development of the Uran-9 military robot, will be engaged in the creation of a new family of remote-controlled combat complexes. The latter carries the Ataka guided weapon system, the Bumblebee-M jet flamethrower, a 2mm 72A30 automatic cannon, and a 7,62mm machine gun. The combat vehicle is intended for fire support, destruction of enemy armored vehicles and reconnaissance.



According to Viktor Murakhovsky - the chief editor of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, the purpose of the new robot will be similar to the Uran-9 complex. However, unlike its predecessor, the "Companion" will be more balanced in terms of weapons.

Recall that before this, the name "Companion" had another complex developed by the Kalashnikov concern on an initiative basis and presented at the Army 2016 forum.

      130 billion rubles - fantastic money. And "Companion", by chance, will not fly into space? The main thing is to use that kind of money for its intended purpose. Good luck!

      uh ... And where did the previous developments go? 130 billion times just for developing a new one?

      The last 5 years have only boasted of different types of such robots! And about the release somehow everything is past ....

        It is very common practice to "show off" military developments. Yes The other day, the Spaniards boasted, they say, they made an anaerobic installation, this is the very one that our developers still have not bothered to develop. They said they will build 4 boats. It seems that everything is great, well done, but there are nuances .... Each boat will be built in 1,5-2 years, and the anaerobic installation itself will begin to be installed, starting with the third. That is, it turns out that we have the installation, but we will begin to install it in four years, and in practice we will show in 5-6 years. laughing Our storytellers are not very different from foreign ones. Yes
        Here a little about the previous development, it will suddenly be interesting. hi

      The rich poor will never understand.

      My rate on the employment contract is 78 rubles per hour. I didn’t mislead anything, but can you say something about the article? The author wrote, tried, and the second one is rude to me for my two lines.

      I looked in the internet - in the article anonymous anonymous zeros were prescribed.
      Everywhere they write about 130 million rubles.
      Oh well done!

      Maybe "Interlocutor", "Drinking companion" is better? Maybe someone will be satisfied with "Accomplice"?

      Another cut of budget money. Give to the cinema, given, but in fact an empty zilch. They gave RUSNANO 10 billion and where is the result? Give - on, give - on, but in fact all the money is on the offshore of Pu friends.
