Robots on display at Army 2024 arms show adapted to real warfare — top brass
According to Vasily Yelistratov, the servicemen tested the equipment in the special military operation area and sent their feedback and criticical remarks to developers
PATRIOT PARK /Moscow Region/, August 14. /TASS/. Robotized systems on display at the Army 2024 military-technical forum have been tested in the special military operation in Ukraine and adapted to real warfare, Chief of the Russian Defense Ministry’s Artificial Intelligence Technologies Department Vasily Yelistratov told TASS on the sidelines of the arms show on Wednesday.
"The robotic systems that we see on all display stands without any exception at the Army forum, especially vividly demonstrated in the cluster of the domestic defense industry, have already been tested and used in the special military operation area. Considering those critical remarks that we have received as feedback from soldiers who are using this equipment, this criticism has played its positive role and these systems have been adapted to real warfare," the defense official said, thanking soldiers for their feedback.
Considering that electronic warfare equipment is used on the battlefield, remote-controlled systems sometimes do not operate effectively enough and thus engineers use artificial intelligence technologies to make their operation autonomous, he said.
"In actual fact, we are creating technologies of the future, taking into account the experience of the special military operation, to achieve peace throughout the world," Yelistratov said.
The Army 2024 international military-technical forum is running at the Patriot Congress/Exhibition Center outside Moscow on August 12-14. The arms show features the most advanced types of armament, military and special hardware. TASS is a strategic media partner of the forum.
