Vladimir Putin's new robot tanks filmed vaporizing military targets

The Russian military has released footage of a terrifying new piece of weaponry as it beefs up its commitment to develop the nation's armed forces. Weapons giant Kalashnikov showed off breathtaking footage featuring a robot tank levelling a building with rockets and attacking a compound alongside a group of soldiers. The video, reportedly shot on a military range in the Moscow region, shows the Soratnik (Companion) tank blasting through walls with powerful missiles. The tank, which is the size of a small car, is reportedly capable of scouting and patrolling as well as guarding duties. It is also said to be able to deal with mines and to provide covering fire for troops, but the exact level of autonomy it has remains unclear.
