The border of South Korea is guarded by machine gun robots

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 thing is that this is true, the title fully reflects the actual state of affairs. The military of South Korea placed on a significant part of the border (or rather, the demarcation line) with North Korea robotic machine-gun points, which are endowed with their own "intelligence".

Guess who designed the machine gun robots? Affiliated company Samsung, Samsung Techwin . The model of the robot machine gunner was named T-800 SGR-1, and now in normal mode, these robots are serving at the border. Border guards are now cool with beer sitting in air-conditioned rooms behind the displays, to which information is supplied from the sensors of robots.

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

The weapon on the robot is solid - 5.5-mm machine guns and 40-mm automatic grenade launchers.

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

“Human soldiers can feel tired or sleepy without concentrating fully on the task of guarding the border. But robots are guarding the demarcation line day and night, without experiencing fatigue. They also have no fear of the attackers, being in the first line, ”says Huh Kwang-hak (I propose to transliterate this name yourself), a spokesman for Samsung Techwin.

He also stated that robots cannot make an independent decision on firing, for this they need a person’s permission. A spokesman also said that "SGR-1 can and will prevent wars."

To demonstrate the abilities of the robot, a whole short-action film was created that shows how easily robots can help border guards neutralize violators.

In general, "SkyNet" (no, not the mobile operator, the other "Skynet"), we are not seeing, but something similar is already drawn. I wonder how quickly the North Koreans will start using "electromagnetic" bombs that can disable electronics seriously and for a long time?

And here is the video of the “war” with the participation of the very same robots of machine guns
