About the features of Russian combat robotic complexes — in the material of TASS.

The Chinese company Unitree has announced the start of sales of the Go2 robot. The robot can become not just a toy, but also a companion during sports runs. Its capabilities allow you to reach speeds of up to 9 km / h in the standard version or up to 12.6 km / h in the Pro version, which corresponds to a contentedly brisk pace of running. The robot itself weighs only 15 kilograms, and its height does not exceed 40 centimeters. At the same time, it is not entirely clear where the robot's nose is and where its tail is.

The German Rheinmetall arms concern has added a new XT class in the 4×4 variant to the autonomous ground-based robotic complexes (A–UGV, hereinafter referred to as RTK) of the Mission Master series.
