In Russia, they began to create the first prototypes of the heavy shock robotic complex "Shturm".

According to RIA Novosti, citing sources in the military-industrial complex, the development is carried out by the research and production corporation "Uralvagonzavod" (UVZ).

"In particular, a mobile control center for the complex's combat vehicles and the vehicles themselves with various combat modules, including a module with a 125-mm smoothbore shortened gun, are being created. All vehicles of the complex are built on the chassis of the T-72B3 tank, " said one of the agency's interlocutors.

Other models will include a block of Bumblebee rocket-propelled flamethrowers, paired 30-millimeter automatic guns, and a block of 220-millimeter thermobaric unguided rocket projectiles. At the same time, the combat vehicles of the Shturm complex themselves will have a high level of protection against enemy anti-tank weapons.

On the air of Sputnik radio, a military observer, a retired colonel

Viktor Litovkin explained what the shortened gun is used for.

"The shortened barrel is needed in order to fire in urban areas in the fight against terrorists. And this is a very difficult task for any army. If the terrorists capture some urban area, then with a long barrel it is very difficult to perform the task, it is difficult for such a tank to turn around in the narrow streets. Therefore, it is necessary to create such machines – robots, " Viktor Litovkin said.

According to him, "Shturm" will add to the line of Russian robotic systems.

"We have robots for clearing mines and laying mines, robots for barraging, robots that can conduct combat operations in open space. These robots were repeatedly demonstrated, including at the parade on Red Square – these are "Uran-6", "Uran-9", "Uran-14". The new robot "Storm" is a universal combat unit on the tower can be put any, for example, with a 125-millimeter gun, that is, for a powerful projectile. Or, for example, with a tool for fighting drones. The main thing is that these robots will be controlled by radio equipment and will be under human control at a fairly decent distance. Robots are created in order to save human lives, but at the same time effectively perform the combat task of fighting against opponents. It can be regular troops, and it can be terrorists, " Viktor Litovkin explained.
