Walker robot new project

[Debi]

Kalashnikov Concern, Russia's most famous weapons manufacturer, is showing off its newest projects, including a new assault rifle and a futuristic mechanized walker concept.
The new hardware is among the 700-odd items on display at the Army-2018 international forum near Moscow. Kalashnikov, known worldwide for its dependable and powerful assault rifles, is also showing off utility vehicles intended for military use.

One is the OV-2 hybrid buggy, a compact four-seater capable of going up to 100 km/h (92mph). It features separate electric engines for the front and the back wheels, and hydraulic shock absorbers. Buggies, light open vehicles intended for difficult terrain, are a comparatively recent addition to the Russian military's stable. A three-seated combat buggy with gun mounts was previously unveiled during last year's Army forum. It remains to be seen if Kalashnikov's new vehicle is also intended for combat use.

Another vehicle on display is Kalashnikov's new SM-1 electric motorcycle. With an austere frame and suspension fit for off-road travel, it has a respectable range of up to 150km (93 miles) and top speed of up to 90 km/h (55mph).

Looks like the sentry robots in just about every sci fi movie......can't believe Kalashnikov is involved with this.
And isn't 100 kilometers per hour only about 60 miles per hour.,

Can they just go back to making AK47’s? The world was a better place without killer robots

Paul you read my mind. First thing I thought of was the giant robots in Star Wars firing on the people. War is changing. This is scary !!

War is changing. This is scary !!

war is ever changing. from rocks to spears to arrows to bullets to missiles, a never ending quest to try to harm another human being.....strange how one group tries to find the "fountain of youth" through science and another group tries to find a way to kill as many people as possible with one swoop.....says a lot about where we stand. maybe we are at a pointe of evolution where one side will progress further and we will have an awakening of sorts........ oops, im rambling.

Yes I think we’re at a crossroad in many areas. I hope we choose life and not oblivion !
