At the Army 2017 Exhibition, Kalashnikov Corporation officially introduced Soratnik - a combat robot that can destroy enemy tanks from dozens of kilometers away.
 |
| According to the manufacturer Kalashnikov, before being officially introduced to the public, Soratnik conducted many tests and gave unexpected results. |
 |
| The most recent test was conducted in conjunction with the BTR-82 vehicle and Russian infantry forces. According to the manufacturer's introduction, Soratnik is a combat robot with heavy weapons and is capable of coordinating with UAVs to increase combat effectiveness. |
 |
| The Soratnik test was quite a surprise, given that the robot had only been unveiled a year earlier. It is an armored, trackable robot equipped with computer control systems, electronic communications, and detection and surveillance means. |
 |
| In terms of weapons systems, Soratnik can be equipped with 7.62 mm machine guns to 12.7 mm cannons. Engineers also designed it to be able to mount 30 mm machine guns and anti-aircraft or anti-tank missiles with a base of 4 bullets/vehicle. |
 |
| Although he did not specifically reveal which anti-tank missiles Soratnik is equipped with, Mr. Alexei Krivoruchko affirmed that they are capable of destroying enemy tanks from a distance of nearly ten kilometers. |
 |
| What is special about Soratnik is that it can use artificial intelligence and operate in 3 different mechanisms. First of all, a soldier can control the machine at a distance of up to 10 km. |
 |
| Next is the semi-automatic mode, however, the information is still kept top secret. As for the third mechanism, which is fully automatic, Soratnik will operate completely independently. |
 |
| With this operating mechanism, the Soratnik combat robot easily asserts its superiority over a series of other heavy combat robots in the world. |
