Russia's stake gets high, so deploying the next-gen robot Marker to Eastern Ukraine is an answer to sending more combat robots. Their arrival in the Donbas will signal the start of a significant force to crush all opposing Ukrainian forces.

Russia's Marker Robots as Most Modern Weapon Systems

Last February 2, Dmitry Rogozin, the former Roscosmos Chief and head of the special military advisory group 'Tsar's Wolves,' posted on social media that four of these robotic combatants will be tested by Russia in the Donbas region in the eastern Ukraine district, reported The Eurasian Times.

These robotic weapons, called unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), look like tanks with weapons mounted on a tracked platform that features sensors and firearms, as mentioned by Army recognition. One more system is the drone launching system, with machine guns and anti-tank missiles.

He added experts are trying out algorithms for actual warfare in a swarm of combat robots. A month earlier, these new autonomous systems are indeed scheduled to join the special operations in Ukraine.

Disclosed a quarter of these combat automatons were on schedule. Next is downloading the unit's target images and algorithms, mounted tank killer armament to send Abrams and Leopards rest.

One particular unit of fighting-tracked robots is a shock variant to be sent to Ukraine this February to destroy NATO tanks with a special loadout. After the US and Germany decided to send tanks, the Kremlin decided to pull the stops.

Now Russian officials a calling for the destruction of western tanks by troops, citing the Moscow Times. One report states that per tank obliterated will have an alleged bounty of 1 million USD or more.

Once the destroyer robots know what the Abrams and Leopards look like in the CPU database, from visible to infrared. It can decide if the target is a western tank or not. He added that it's a vital addition to the robotic system to use its anti-tank weapon efficiently. Though the specs of the tanks will be downgraded for AFU because there is no confidence that Ukrainian tank crews can use them as intended, these downgraded western tanks are still valid tests for Russian combat robots.

Next-Gen Marker Robots To Target Enemies in Ukraine

The Marker UGV, built by the Android technique firm with the Advanced Research Foundation, is as heavy as three tons with the most cutting-edge advanced object identification and autonomous movement systems.

Only a first-generation combat robot will test systems for the second generation when all systems are analyzed, equipped with a drone to be its eyes in the sky, with defensive and offensive weapons to go over terrain in the field. It has a modular multispectral vision system akin to a neural network.

Rogozin mentions the attack UGV defines what target it destroys first, like a human choosing the right target and how to demolish it. Its combat sensors turn 540 degrees with customizable loadout too. It's either a spotter unit or with weapons to attack with.

Though not meant to fight, testing capabilities to see if it can face a western tank too. Russia's new weapon in Eastern Ukraine, called the Marker, is a next-gen robot that might change warfare as the aerial drone did.
