✅Olga Harlan’s victorious saber turned into 16 Saber turrets for the defenders!
This was made possible thanks to your donations during the auction and raffle of the flag with the champion’s signature and the opportunity to meet her for coffee.
🫶Many thanks to Metalist 1925 for the winning contribution of 10,000,000 and everyone who joined!
“Sabres”, which we purchased for UAH 11,679,254 from the auction and raffle, have already left for the military with 5 OSHBr, 25 OPDBr and 57 OMpBr.
🇺🇦Together to victory!
Should I tell him?
I’m going to tell him.
We’ve had remote weapons turrets with high accuracy in the thousands of meters for 20 years.
Yeah but these is a difference between small application and fringe systems vs small garage style assembled quickly iterated solutions that are deployed stand alone on the battlefield.
Stuff like missile defence systems are scary accurate but cost a lot, these turrets in the article are more acing to stuff you used in a shooter game… Just toss your little buddy in the hallway for some extra cover… or on a rooftop as an autonomous sniper.
Yup. We’ve had them for 20 years. It started as a vehicle mount with a .50 married to a CLU. Then moved to tracked robots about as high as your knee, running a thermal and a 240. They haven’t been widely deployed because the US hasn’t been in a large scale defensive situation like Ukraine.
In this case I was imagining a suppressed semi auto with dead aim at 1000+ m guarding open fields and approaches. AFK sniper bot
Why though? I can single fire an MG if I need to and the belt allows for far more ammo before we have to expose ourselves or bring it back to reload it. Suppressors exist for .30 cal barrels and 240’s absolutely range 1,000m.
Sure… I didn’t say my imagination was a good one. Thanks for keeping up with me.
