RUSSIA is deploying new “robot tanks” in eastern Ukraine, it was claimed today.
The unmanned Marker "robotic combat systems" are armed with 7.62mm machine guns and anti-tank missiles.
They can also be used to carry and control military drones, say their makers.
“The first four Marker robots have arrived in the region strictly on schedule,” said Vladimir Putin ally, Dmitry Rogozin, former head of the Russian Space Agency.
He showed footage of the robots which turned out to be from Taganrog, not in the war zone. It remains unclear how effective they will be in battle, or if they can operate more than several miles from their controller.
“We are starting the process of uploading target images, working out algorithms for engaging in combat as part of a group of combat robots and installing powerful anti-tank weapons,” said Rogozin who now heads a group of military advisers and the Royal Wolves research and technology centre.
He claimed the robots would be "hunters of Leopards” - the Germany tanks soon to be deployed by Ukraine.
