Russia unveils giant fighting robot with the same design as

The corporation behind the robot is also the legendary AK-47 manufacturer.

Finally something must come: Russia, one of the largest military powers in the world has launched its giant fighting super robot. Nearly 4 meters tall, the robot of Russian defense contractor Kalashnikov - the company that produced the legendary AK-47 gun - is particularly suitable for technical tasks or "combat solutions". Of course, these fighting robots are only available in fictional movies, can Russia bring it into the real battlefield and maximize its potential?

The robot has a design that makes you think of a tyrant dinosaur.

According to Popularmechanics, the robot has a design that reminds you of a tyrant dinosaur, with a long stride and a large "head" . It was introduced by Kalashnikov at the defense exhibition that took place in Moscow, and the company confirmed the technologies behind this fighting machine will be demonstrated next year.

This fighting robot has a cockpit that can hold only one person, a pair of arms with "hands" are large pincers and a pair of giant metal legs that look like they're wearing ski boots. Important details such as weapons, active energy, and robot mobility are all being kept secret at this time.

Fighting robots are part of sci-fi movies for decades. Some examples include AT-ST in Star Wars, Amplified Mobility Platform in Avatar, L5 Riesig in Battlefield 2142.

Why do robots capable of walking and fighting never appear before on the battlefield? The reason is that unlike a tank or armored vehicle, a walking fighting machine must do all the balancing tasks with only its feet. This creates a huge pressure on the ground and makes it difficult to navigate through muddy terrain. The legs must also be very complicated to prevent this machine from falling. In addition, this machine must also achieve the ideal height for combat.

A bipedal fighting machine is also a terrifying presence on the battlefield.

Of course, a robot fighting on the ground also has its advantages. First of all it will have better visibility. If an ideal equilibrium is achieved, it can cross obstacles (eg vehicles) on the road. A bipedal fighting machine is also a terrifying presence on the battlefield.

However, it seems that Kalashnikov is well aware of the potential disadvantages of two-legged fighting robots. The company's robot legs are designed to be long, feet like snow boots are clearly designed to reduce pressure when moving on the ground. Everything will be revealed more clearly when Kalashnikov demonstrates the technology behind this robot in 2019.
