Sumy has created a hunter's combat work: will help the Armed Forces in a counter -offensive (video)

The unmanned apparatus is armed with a machine gun and two RPGs, it can fire on Russian troops day and night, protecting Ukrainians. Engineers from Sumy State University have developed a "hunter robot", which should help the Armed Forces of Ukraine during a counter-offensive. The People's Deputy of the Verkhovna Rada Igor Molotok told about it on the air of the telecommunication, Sumy News reports.

According to him, the Ukrainian military reported that the problems needed unmanned melee and support on the forefront during the discussion of problems. In this, they can help a combat work from Sumy, which has already passed preliminary trials, his capabilities even showed the commander of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces Alexander Sirsky.

The developers hope that the fire complex with remote control will retain the lives of many military during a counter -offensive, especially during street fighting. On April 11, the test from Sumy State University was shown by the local TV company "STS". The hunter weighs about 230 kg with a full ammunition. It is equipped with a battery, which is enough for 1 hour of combat mode and for 8 hours of patrol. The robotic four-wheeled platform with an electric motor is armed with a 7.

62 mm PKT machine gun with a fire range up to 1500 m and two RPG-7 grenade launchers, which are fixed to the rotating Turel. It also installed the camera and thermal images that transmit the image to the control station. According to engineers, a convenient interface of the remote allows you to control the movement of the robot, rotate the Turel, turn on automatic tracking of goals with machine vision, approach or remove the image from the cameras, open fire.

Each feature provides a button or a switch, in addition, the station is equipped with a touch screen to quickly adjust the sight. The signal from the remote to work and back is transmitted by the cable, which limits the range of work (100 meters), but eliminates the possibility of suppression by Russian means of radio electronic struggle. At this time, the operator can be in a safe place, such as a trench or a dugout, without being dangerous.

The management of the land robot takes about the same amount of time as the development of flying drones. "This is a reliable car that will accurately help our boys," Igor Molotok said to the STS journalists. Developers will be able to launch mass production work after the military will conduct combat tests and announce the results. Engineers promise to take into account all the wishes of the fighters, as well as to cover the armor the most vulnerable parts of the drone structure.

Earlier they wrote that servicemen from the Kirovograd region developed a combat work, which can be armed with a machine gun or machine gun of Kalashnikov. The Turel was installed on an ATV with an electric motor, remote control provides a cable of 50 meters long. Recently reported that engineers from Kharkiv were developed for the Armed Forces Sirko-S.
