OREANDA-NEWS  Russia is ready to test mortars equipped with "smart" sights in combat in the zone of a special military operation in Ukraine in February. Such an announcement was made in an interview with RIA Novosti by the former CEO of Roscosmos and the head of the scientific and technical center "Royal Wolves" Dmitry Rogozin.

He explained that last year 120-millimeter mortars with "smart" sights were tested in the area of the SVO, and then they were modified. The developer of the sight for mortars was NPO Automatika. The invention makes it possible to open fire on the enemy faster, Rogozin stressed.

"These mortars in the required quantity for trial operation will be available to us during February," said the ex—CEO of Roscosmos.

Prior to that, Rogozin said that three promising combat robots "Marker", called deadly, will be delivered to the special operation zone in February.

The head of the scientific and technical center "Royal Wolves" assured that the robots have their own suspended drone inside and good weapons that have "technical vision". In addition, they can navigate the terrain, "go to a point that is simply indicated by the operator," choosing their own route, Rogozin explained.
