I do not exclude, that unmanned tanks will appear soon, unmanned self-propelled guns, unmanned missile delivery vehicles.According to the Deputy Chairman of the Strong Russia movement, You can talk about, that one or another unmanned system was used against our country, but the answer should be. And the best answer today is to increase our own production of unmanned systems of various types and modifications..
Alexander Mikhailov:
Now you need to think, how do we use drones as a means of intercepting enemy aircraft. For our designers today there is a wide field of activity, What’s more, funding is allocated for this.
