Horror for infantry in the trenches: As the robot-dummy Thermonator can help the Armed Forces (video)

Work can be used not only in war, but such autonomous armed systems are increasingly being used on the battlefield. Throwflame from Ohio (USA), claims that the world's first robot Thermonator, which has a flamethrower, could be useful in the battlefield in Ukraine. The details revealed the Twz edition. The Arc Throwflame fireplace is attached to the robotic robot with a picatin. With it thermonator for $ 9420 is able to shoot a 9-meter stream of fire, giving it with a laser beam.

Throwflame recognizes that its device can be used for military purposes, for example, can burn trenches. The war in Ukraine has shown the value of unmanned weapons systems, ranging from air and surface drones to landless unmanned vehicles made by explosives. The ability to impress the enemy, without risking the troops, has received great practical use in Russian-Ukrainian conflict. A system such as thermontor could be interested in the military, especially if it could act autonomously.

According to the media, people will not be able to cope with robones, if they suddenly break into the trenches. Given the difficult struggle of Ukraine against Russia and the expected cruel battles in the Pacific, the thermonator will soon be somehow on the battlefield. Thermontor is proposed to be used for various purposes: fighting forest fires, agriculture, removal of snow and ice, as well as for entertaining purposes, for example, to create special effects.

However, a fire robot may not be so harmless. Flamewers have been used as weapons since 1911. They were used to burn the enemy's positions, as well as to clear trenches and simply to create panic in the ranks of the enemy army. Robots can also serve as weapons shipping systems. For example, the US Marine Corps protested such opportunities last year by installing a M72 anti -tank rocket launcher on the training version.

Similar weapons are of growing interest not only by the US Armed Forces - Chinese and Russian soldiers also study the possibility of weapons of four -legged non -piloted land systems. The system is managed by a first -person species controller - a popular concept of drone management, which has gained popularity in Ukraine, which makes it possible to direct shock drones for targets.

The robot itself is guided by the system of detecting and determining the range of light, or Lidar, low -power, laser technology safe, which measures light reflected from short pulses to quickly and accurately create three -dimensional environmental cards. Such systems are used for geodesy and even in some unmanned vehicles. Lidar has become popular for UAVs intended for urban conditions. The flamethrower is attached to the body of the device with the help of special strips.

Today, more and more military-level robots are performing many functions in the Armed Forces, and in the future, these areas will only expand as their capabilities increase, especially in terms of autonomy. Earlier, we wrote about whether the Ukrainian army of robots will stand under the pressure of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Robated unmanned platforms need the Ukrainian army to protect people on the battlefield. But it is difficult to protect the machines themselves.
