The Russian military is set to deploy its first unit of strike robots — five Uran-9 robotic systems — the Russian Ministry of Defence said on April 9.
Minister of Defence Sergei Shoigu was informed about this move during his visit to an enterprise where robotic systems for various purposes are being developed and produced.
Each robotic system includes one command post, mounted on the basis of a KamAZ vehicle, and four combat vehicles. According to the Defense Ministry, another batch of five Uran-9 robotic strike systems has been produced and is ready for delivery to the armed forces, it said.
It was reported in January that the Russian military was supplied with five Uran-9 complexes, including 20 combat vehicles, and two more robots separately.
