🇷🇺 Russia built a robot mortar that is loaded by a robotic arm, simulating a human operator. Wild

ammo out in the open, 60mm mortar that is not standard in russia fancy arm that can break.. \ really? magazine loaded mortars have been a thing for 40 years.

Looks fairly stupid. Why all that robotic arm BS? Why not a simple loading mechanism?

AI cope.. you still have not managed to get that Armata off the Red Square..

Better design in Helldivers

Give it 10 years and there are only robots fighting. Killing machines pumped out of factories 24/7. It will only be about production capacity and there will be scorched frontlines littered with crap. Crazy times. Don't have to tell anyone that China will win that, right?

I've seen this kind of technology before:

some Adeptus Mechanicus type of shit

I thing this is IA, more even when russia is the autoloader master.

meanwhile Sweden had the Mjolnir that is a double barrel automatically loading mortar look less stupid and better then that

Sure, you Nigerian cosplay moron 🤣 I love happy ends😘

Stupidly over-complicated. Just use a belt and a simple yoke. That arm would seize up in no time.

That's so fucking embarrassing. They are like stupid goblins , living in the ruins of an ancient civilization

Cute, but an internal magazine would be much more fault-tolerant. Can we get a belt-fed mortar? Putler, please.....

To make it robotic/automate and mobile is smart, but why make it so complicated with a robotic arm? It does not look reliable in harsh conditions, why not using a simple loading mechanism instead?

Russia should focus on building robot that can counter FPV drone. As Ukraine FPV is like >90% cause of Russian casualties.

@GeromanAT Even under sanctions Russian military continues to innovate and built the coolest weapons

@GeromanAT Good idea, but big, complicated and expensive. Much better simple tracks, low profile, belt feed with simple release mechanisms would be cheaper, faster to shot,faster to produce

So they made it more complicated for no reason? 😅 Very smart!! 🤣

Reminds me of this…

why would you build it like that and not some fixed structure which feeds it into the front.

@DM55283 Haha, obviously the Russians pulled it off: four washing machines stolen in Ukraine, a robotic arm slapped together with duct tape, and boom , job done. Self-loading mortar with a perfectly simulated human operator. Western media, as usual, are scraping the bottom 👇

I'm not sure that it saves anything compared to an autoloader loading a cannon with a breach.

why?

Can you do that with a tube and a stick?

underwhelming design complexity level, Kalashnikov would be disappointed. If they wanted to go with the arm they could use a single joint and a gantry, or better yet just a gantry actuated autoloader.

It will most probably blow up.

Seems overengineered, they could just put a big perpendicular wheel that catches ammunition from a loaded chamber and gently drops it inside the mortar

Needs too work on the reload speed

Robotic arm going to breakdown so fast in real combat conditions. Should have just settled for a loader.

No mr Bond, I expect you to die.

Seems like a difficult solution to an easy problem

Nice tech if u have a couple of them moving forward firing automatically u can create pressure without casualties

Old shit, Sweden had this already in the nineties on a tracked vehicle
