Rosoboronexport, a subsidiary of Russian state-owned corporation Rostec, is about to release their newly developed Uran-9 “to provide remote reconnaissance and fire support for deployed units, with the goal of reducing troop casualties during counter-terror operations in urban environments”.
The unit operates from a mobile control post and offers two recon and fire support robots situated on a tractor-like device to provide mobility. Like other military type robots this robot will perform a wide variety of tasks from fine motor gripping to moving or destroying large and heavy objects.

The company intends to tailor the device’s armament to the individual needs of their customers, but will come equipped with a 30mm 2A72 automatic cannon, a coaxial 7.62mm machine gun, and Ataka anti-tank guided missiles” and possess “threat detection capabilities, including a laser warning system, as well as target detection, identification and tracking gear” .
