Russia's Strategic Rocket Forces have acquired a new weapon: a heavily armed robot. Chief of the Strategic Rocket Forces' combat training department Evgeny Shchelkanov told the Interfax news agency about the latest acquisition. 

"Just this year we completed testing one such system of protection. Visually speaking it is a small tractor which is armed with machine guns and an automatic grenade launcher, it knows how to detect targets, and it leaves almost no distinct signs." 

Shchelkanov added that the robot could detect targets even in the dark, and that it was almost "invisible." 


… we have a small favor to ask.
