MOSCOW, April 24. / TASS /. The robotic version of the Russian T-14 Armata tank, thanks to artificial intelligence, will find targets on its own, but a person will authorize the shooting. This was announced on Saturday by the head of the state corporation "Rostec" Sergei Chemezov on the air of the program " Vesti on Saturday " with Sergei Brilev on the TV channel "Russia-1".

"Tank" Armata "can be used both with a crew and without a crew - the robot will control the tank <...> it will choose the target itself. , - he said.

The T-14 tank, developed by the Uralvagonzavod concern, was first demonstrated at the May 9, 2015 parade. In 2019, it passed preliminary tests. Its main innovation is an uninhabited tower. The crew is housed in an isolated armored capsule in the body of the tank, from where they remotely control weapons. This greatly reduces the likelihood of the death of the crew in battle. There is also an unmanned version of the "Armata". However, there are no plans to make it serial, it is planned to work out unmanned technologies for other ground robots on it.
