https://www.afinalwarning.com/510976.html (Natural News) Russia will soon integrate robotic killer tanks armed with a variety of weapons into its military forces. Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu inspected the tanks on April 9 at the 766th Production and Technological Enterprise, the factory where the tanks were made, in Nakhabino near Moscow.
The
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation announced on the same day: “The first unit with strike robots will be set up in the Russian Armed Forces to operate five Uran-9 robotic systems or 20 combat vehicles.”
A Uran-9 robotic system is an unmanned ground vehicle equipped with 30-millimeter automatic guns, anti-tank missiles and flamethrowers. It is the latest model of the Uran series after the mine clearance robot Uran-6 and firefighting Uran-14. These models will be joined by other similar robots that the Russian army plans to develop in the future.

Here s What You Need to Know: This tank has had a few problems.
In May 2018, the Russian military revealed it had combat-tested its Uran-9 robot tank in Syria. The diminutive remote-control tank is noted for its formidable gun and missile armament.
However, just a month later Defense Blog reported that Senior Research Officer Andrei Anisimov told a conference at the Kuznetsov Naval Academy in St. Petersburg that the Uran-9’s performance in Syria revealed that “modern Russian combat Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) are not able to perform the assigned tasks in the classical types of combat operations.” He concluded it would be ten to fifteen more years before UGVs were ready for such complex tasks.
