…Missile Bases. "The new Russian mobile security robot Taifun-M, designed to provide security at strategic missile facilities, has been shown on the Russian Vesti news program. The combat robots, which have no foreign analogue, will be used to secure Yars and Topol-M missile sites and can be operated remotely by a secure wireless connection and in the future with an autonomous artificial intelligence system, the program reported Monday.

I like robots … but like anything else they can be taken out with MGs, GL, man pack AT weapons, etc. … but better a 'bot than a trooper to be put in harms way … |
