Russian Drone Tank Seen

russia-drone-tankDrones are pretty useful for ordinary matter such as making deliveries in urban areas, or perhaps to help out law enforcement officials in catching felons, or simply to function as an artist. There is also plenty of wiggle room in terms of the military, and it looks like the Kremlin has come up with unmanned ground combat vehicles – and the Uran-9 is one of them, where it is touted to be the equivalent of an armored fighting vehicle without requiring a crew inside.

The major question would be, is it capable of actually performing on the battlefield when the rubber meets the road? After all, the Uran-9 does have some rather impressive specifications, sporting a 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun and multiple 9M120 Ataka anti-tank guided missiles, as well as boasting of a suite of optics and targeting systems that will comprise of thermal imaging and a laser designator.

It looks capable of getting rid of ordinary humans like flies, with the ability to handle battle tanks to boot, and is fully configurable to carry different kinds of payloads. Will a radio-controlled light tank be able to handle all that it meets on the battlefield when crunch time comes? Only time will be able to tell, and hopefully the world will be peaceful enough so that it need not be called into duty, ever, as we have more than our fair share of violence, death and destruction around the globe today.
