Military robot made its combat debut in Mosul. Robots in the military play a crucial role in battlefield. It makes fear to the opponents. These military robots are specially designed against terrorists.
In 2014, ISIS captured a place called Mosul with just 2000 fighters. Do you believe that they can get victory against 2 million from a defensive force of 30000 Iraqi security forces? But unfortunately they took complete control of the city. ISIS gets a victory only because of fear. Iraq’s armed forces in the city of Mosul are under trained and ill-equipped. They never trained to fire a gun fled. At some point of time after ISIS got a victory on Mosul they used suicide car bombs to kill the people in outskirts of the city and then the Iraqi security forces abandoned the city.
After two years later, Iraq with the help of United States and other countries they are started the process of regaining the city of Mosul from the hand of ISIS. Iraq’s military now fighting back very hard for the city.
Wait a second, why I am saying this? This is not a technical one right? But you have to realize that there is a link between war and robots. This is a modern era!!!

To join with a military armed forces Iraqi designed a war robot dubbed “Alrobot”. The new machine is demonstrated in the month of august. It appears the war machine made its combat debut in Mosul a couple of days back with thermal optic gun and rocket support.
In demonstration the thermal optic gun paired with an infrared camera so that bot can fight at night. The gun seems missing in the war field. Hope it will developed in future models for a better targets in battle.
Motherboard reports,
Designed by two brothers from Baghdad, the unmanned (unscrewed) ground vehicle (UGV) has a remotely operated 12.7mm cannon equipped with thermal sights, as well as side mounted Russian made 70mm rockets.
“The combat robot is used in three primary machines” the PMU spokesperson told motherboard. “Night time hunter missions, day time combat machines and all day support role for any troops requiring it. Hunter operations utilize the very high quality thermal optical camera on the robot to find ISIS targets at night. The target information can be given to either our designed sniper or relayed to Iraqi central command for Iraqi air force F16 strike or Mi-35 gunship strike with ATAKA guided missiles.”
This Alrobot is still a human piloted, remotely controlled machine. This is the great effort from the side of Iraqi military in the process of retake Mosul. We have to wait and see the efforts of robot in war field in coming days. But there is a potential to get success.
Note: Say NO to Terrorism!!! Show your Love and spread the smile. Be happy!!!
