South Korean border guarded by machine gunners

The title is very similar to those from the yellow press, such as "Super-computer captures the world" or "Computer viruses began to infect people." Very similar, but the whole point is that this is true, the heading fully reflects the actual state of things. The military of South Korea deployed robotic machine-gun points that are endowed with their own "intelligence" on a significant section of the border (or rather, the demarcation line) with North Korea.

Guess who designed the machine gunner robots? Samsung subsidiary, Samsung Techwin . The model of the machine-gunner robot was called the T-800 SGR-1, and now in normal mode these robots serve at the border. Border guards are now chilling with beerThey are sitting in air-conditioned rooms behind displays, to which information is transmitted from the sensors of robots.

The cost of one instance is 200 thousand dollars, robots work offline until a potential enemy is detected. The decision to fire to kill is made by the very frontier guards who watch at the headquarters for displays. Robots are equipped with a radar, night vision device, cameras, audio-video equipment. Without leaving the place, border guards can now poison jokes to talk with violators without putting themselves in danger.

Weapons on the robot are solid - 5.5 mm machine guns and 40 mm automatic grenade launchers.

Interestingly, officials are still silent about the number of robots. It is understandable, because state secret after all. It is only known that robots are placed along the 300-kilometer perimeter. If the tests go well, they will continue to serve.

“Human soldiers may feel tired or drowsy without concentrating on the task of border protection in full. But the robots are guarding the demarcation line round the clock, not experiencing fatigue. They are also not afraid of the attackers, being in the first line, ”says Huh Kwang-hak (I suggest translating this name on my own), spokeswoman for Samsung Techwin.

He also said that robots cannot make an independent decision on firing, for this they need human permission. A spokeswoman also said that "SGR-1 can and will prevent war."

To demonstrate the robot's abilities, an entire action-packed short film was created that shows how easily robots can help border guards neutralize intruders.

In general, “SkyNet” (no, not a mobile operator, one, another “Skynet”), we have not yet observed, but something similar is already being drawn. I wonder how quickly the North Koreans will begin to use "electromagnetic" bombs, which can disable electronics seriously and permanently?

And here is the video of the “war” with the participation of those same machine-gun robots.
