Uralvagonzavod has started creating the first prototypes of the Shturm heavy shock robotic complex. About it RIA News two sources in the military-industrial complex said at once.

Recall that the RTK "Shturm" is intended for combat in urban environments. The vehicles will operate both in the combat formations of subunits and autonomously carry out the assigned task. In particular, the RTK will be used to destroy long-term firing points and anti-tank nests of the enemy.



According to one of the sources, the complexes are based on the chassis of the T-72B3 tank. At the moment, work is underway to create a mobile command post and directly combat vehicles with various combat modules for testing.

For example, Shturm's arsenal will have a module with a 125-mm shortened smooth-bore gun. This design is due to the specifics of the use of a combat vehicle. In urban areas, a high range of fire contact is not needed, so a short barrel will not affect the effectiveness of hitting targets, but will make the complex more mobile in conditions of narrowness and blockages.

The second interlocutor of the agency spoke in more detail about the range of weapons for future robots. So, a promising heavy RTK can be equipped with a block of rocket-propelled flamethrowers "Shmel", paired 30-mm automatic cannons and even 220-mm thermobaric unguided projectiles. At the same time, he stressed that the robot itself will receive serious protection from the enemy's anti-tank weapons.

    Fiction. Here comes the future. Step by step. Oh, those California governors with their films sad
    The US NSA SKYNET program operates, the Chinese Skynet have a neural facial recognition system.
    By the way, even our company SkyNet exists. While this is a provider, it does not release terminators, but who knows ...
    Their motto is:

    I periodically look at their activities, just in case winked I worry if they know what is good and if they will go over to the dark side smile May the strength be with them.

    That year, the wargame tested its AI in battles between bots and players. The impression is very ambiguous. The AI ​​played more efficiently than 60% of the players. But if you stick it into a real tank? It's uncomfortable somehow.
