TSAMTO, August 16. Russia plans to create a robotic air defense system based on the Uran-9 shock RTC, RIA Novosti reports, citing a source in the defense industry.

"On the basis of Uran-9, the possibility of creating a robotic short-range air defense system is being considered. As the main weapon of the new complex, missiles from the Igla-S or Willow MANPADS can be used, " the agency's interlocutor said.

The source specified that robots of this type can be used, including in a fully automated mode, to strengthen the capabilities of military air defense, in particular, in motorized rifle and tank units.

The main purpose of the air defense robot, the agency interlocutor added, will be the fight against aircraft and means of air attack at low and extremely low altitudes.

In the current version, the Uran-9 robots are armed with a 30-mm automatic cannon, anti-tank guided missiles "Ataka", as well as flamethrowers "Bumblebee". In January of this year, five complexes of Uran-9 attack robots, including 20 combat vehicles, were delivered to the Russian Armed Forces.

The Igla-S and Verba missiles are used in portable anti-aircraft missile systems of the same name. The maximum firing range of missiles is 6 km, the maximum height of the affected air targets is 3.5 km. These missiles, in particular, are used as part of the military anti-aircraft missile system "Gibka-S", installed on the chassis of the armored car "Tiger-M", the agency notes.
