IBTimes: Russian Military News: Ratnik-2 Future Soldier Gear Includes New Machine Gun, Androids
Russian developers are creating plans for Ratnik-2, a future-soldier gear system, as the successor to Ratnik, its most recent form of advanced combat gear which was completed in 2015. Andrei Grigoryev, the head of the Russian government's Prospective Research Foundation, told Sputnik News Monday Ratnik-2 will be finished between 2025 and 2030, and a Russian military android that was previously shown in January would be ready by the end of the year.
The project is meant to envision and develop what will become the "gear of the 'soldier of the future," and the Prospective Research Foundation has been receiving proposals for how it should look, Grigoryev said. Russian gunmakers are currently developing new small weapons with a larger caliber along with a new machine gun for the Ratnik-2 second generation gear, and also will focus on maximizing the amount of ammunition soldiers carry while remaining mobile, Russia Beyond The Headlines reported.
