Russia has created a robotic complex for detecting and combating snipers. The Sosna-N robot was developed by specialists of the M. F. Stelmakh Polyus Research Institute (part of the Shvabe holding of the Rostec State Corporation). The premiere of the complex was held within the framework of the International Military-Technical Forum "Army-2021", TASS reports .

The complex is a laser-optical installation with remote control, which can operate in automatic mode. Sosna-N is capable of scanning the surrounding space at any time of the day, detecting optical devices aimed at the protected sector. The robot can detect observation and aiming with optical devices of sniper rifles, binoculars and sighting devices of anti-tank missile systems.

When a threat is detected, the system marks the location of the enemy device and gives an alarm signal. Also, "Sosna-N" can set interference to enemy optics by means of a directed laser beam.

"The device can be used both to ensure security and to protect private life," said Mikhail Ruzin, the chief designer of the complex. "The device is able to record unauthorized video recording, giving out the location of the attacker," he added.

The Sosna-N complex is able to find a threat at a distance of up to three kilometers, and the suppression of enemy devices is possible at a distance of up to two kilometers. The mass of the robotic complex is 4.6 kilograms. In this case, it is enough for the operator to carry a control tablet weighing 1.1 kilograms. "The advantage of the system is a relatively low cost," Ruzin summed up.
