the Russian Uran-9 Combat Robot Tank,
yes you read that right, robot, the tank which is shorter and narrower than a conventional tank will be remotely controlled, removing humans from the battlefield, the armament of the recon and fire support robots includes
the 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and Ataka ATGMs, the armament mix may vary depending on customer requirements,
it carries both anti-tank missiles, accurate at over 2 miles, and anti-air
missiles, making it a dense little bundle of firepower, and we can expect it on
battlefields soon, not only as an attack vehicle but leading ground troops and
being deployed in houses to house warfare, so dangerous to ground troops, initially
planned to enter military service in 2017 or 2018, Defence Blog reports that it will enter service by the end of this
year, Russia also hopes to export it, with the growing number of remotely controlled vehicles and aircraft I am surprised it has taken so long to remove humans from the battlefield.
