As the military department notes, this year the newest weapon models will be presented for the first time on the Victory Parade: Korsar and Katran unmanned aerial vehicles (drones), robotic complexes Uran-6 and Uran-9, as well as a tank fire fighting vehicle BMPT-72 called the ‘Terminator’, which has a high level of security, firepower and controllability.

“The ‘Uranus-6’ took part in the demining of the ancient city of Palmyra, as well as the Syrian cities of Aleppo and Deir-ez-Zor. It was used in the most dangerous and complex mined areas of the terrain, which allowed saving hundreds of lives of civilians and servicemen of engineering units of government troops, “the Ministry of Defense recalled.
