Report: Russian Combat Drones to Swarm Battlefield in Winter

>Russia has a new remotely operated ground combat vehicle, the Uran-9, built for reconnaissance and fire support. Despite looking like a baby tank, Uran-9 is fully capable of taking on enemy vehicles much larger than itself. Developed by Russian defense contractor Rosoboronexport, Uran-9 is a tracked armored vehicle controlled remotely by an operator. The turret is equipped with a 2A72 30-millimeter cannon with a rate of fire of 350 to 400 rounds per minute and can shoot high explosive incendiary and armor-piercing ammunition. A 7.62-millimeter machine gun is mounted parallel to the cannon.
> Studding the outside of the turret are four 9M120 Ataka anti-tank missiles, each capable of hitting a tank at 2.5 miles with a 90 percent hit probability. The tandem shaped charge warhead is designed to defeat so-called "reactive armor" tiles by using a smaller charge to detonate the reactive armor, allowing the main charge hit the enemy's main armor. Each Uran also mounts four Igla-S surface to air missiles, giving it the ability to shoot down low-flying aircraft to distances of up to 1.86 miles.
Is this a game changer? It looks a lot like a game changer.

        One single mobikube can power a biomech modded t55 for several weeks. The various fluids will lubricate the mechanical systems, whilst the remaining life force is directed towards the new drivetrain. The jaws aren't particularly flexible but if fallen soldiers are lined up, it can consume them to keep operational quite effectively.

    If they fixed the comms issues I’m sure we’ll be treated to plenty of videos of it shooting stuff.

    They almost certainly haven’t developed a doctrine for it. They’ll use it like how everyone uses drones in this war: make drone units which sit around and drive the drone out when someone wants to make a move and take pot-shots at things that pop up.

      They can't get airborne drones not to lose signal when near the ground. No way it will work with this thing. It would need airborne repeaters, which would get shot down the second they're over hostile territory.

    it would actually be a pretty decent idea but it needs to be smaller and cheap as shit, no point having 30mm turret tbh. I guess for recon and shit the best platform would be:
    - size of a family car
    - tracked with 5 pairs of wheels should be enough
    - 10km fiber optic cable for control
    - off-the-shelf gps/ins module
    - 360 cameras for driving and situational awareness
    - 10x zoom camera on top with panning
    - acoustic and radio sensors to detect enemy
    - 12,7 mm MG

    Iirc these were tested back in Syria over 6 years ago and they worked perfectly fine the only issue was the lag between inputs from when the operator told it to do something and it did it but given that was the main issue and they took it out of Syria to improve it I'd say its been fixed now anyone downplaying these RC IFV is retarded and shouldn't be allowed an opinion
