Stainless steel can't be friction stir welded in such huge parts. So Starship is laser welded. Rings are welded by robot arms, but when stacked on top of each other robots can't reach there so staked rings are manually laser welded. Though spacex adopted advanced welding systems for that, their handheld welders have automatic wire feed, that reads movement velocity and feeds wire at constant wire to weld length ratio. This simple trick skyrocketed weld quality, and removed pressure to automate welding. Welders with these semi automatic welders achieve consistent excellent results already.

manual welding isn't going anywhere retards. Robots are good for mass serial welding where you teach the machine to complete the same cycle on the same frame over and over again. In small serial and unique projects a human will always be faster then teaching the computer

Also with even robots a human who knows manual welding has to observe them. To correct fuck ups like random gushes of air introducing spores to finishing the final ends of the weld to make sure the root is uniform

So we have a tank that is based on T-72 (which are facing extinction anyways), with a new body-kit to make it look cool... that has been turned into remote controlled vehicle. But the remote controlling doesn't happen using something like an optical cable, but rather than wireless connetcion which is easily jammed or interferd with. And even in optimal conditions, the people who operate the tank must be within 4 km range, and thus within mortar-fire range of ...where-ever that tank is.

So if you see this on the battlefield, you can either jam it, or you can just start looking for the guy in the bushes nearby who is controlling it ...who is within your artillery range.

...and who thought this was a good idea?

Wrong, cut down 125mm for urban ops, I remember the digital designs being shown off, and the first one that popped up in pictures was the APC version, this one has a turret. They can be remote controlled from a relatively far distance.

Maybe at non-repetitive, complex welds. A robot will run a perfect and straight bead every time if it is set up right, will probably do it faster too. Humans aren't going to be fully replaced in jobs like this because a dude can contort himself to fit into tight spaces and operate autonomously with few catches.

>>
>>65559019
>why is the turret that armored lmao
To make it harder to disable the turret and less likely to detonate the ammunition inside.
A turret kill is more or less a mission kill, it has to be armoured.
Without a gunner though, there's room for armour on the inside too and you need less void internally, just enough for the ammunition feed/autoloader systems.

Well 1470 of Russia's UGVs made it to the frontline to be destroyed by Ukraine...yesterday.
That's a typical number, so Russian UGVs do seem to be in-theatre and I haven't read anything by Ukrainian sources saying that they're comically inept.

we have robots that do "touch trace welding". put in the piece in a sled, trance the weldarea with the robot arm. it records the path based on the sled XYZ or via edgefinder. if the pieces are within tolerance you just have place them on the sled and let it weld it not much programming is needed. like automatic pipe welding it needs to be set up but is simple and quality is excellent.

sure does't make sense for prototypes or in the field and if you have skilled welders but even for small series its very easy

I really struggle to see the use case for a remotly controlled APC. Surely you don't want the dismounts to be impotently stuck in there in the case the datalink is severed, right? And surely severing such a datalink is an easier thing to do than incapaciting the driver?
And if you have manual controls for backup, why not have a driver then? He should have a much better situational awareness than a remote operator.

Yes, these new vehicles aren't that new. They're famous ideas which got prototyped in russia in the early 2010s era and war thunder tank twitter talked a lot about them back then. Now they're being dragged out of the shed because russian mic needs *something*. Well, they should have invested in these - they're not bad ideas, and they were fairly good in the pre-FPV era - but they didn't. Don't expect mass production.

>>65560943
It's not supposed to be invincible to drones; it's supposed to be immune to dumb artillery shrapnel by having a 2-3" RHA hull like a tank, instead of paper thin like a BMP. Classic design. Think western ifv tier protection, but made out of welded up t72s.
>>
>>65560962

Armored vehicle that is literally deisgned during a war where cheap drones are used in massive number should be well protected against drones.

But they present it like a brand new design.

At very least add some field modification like a turtle cage to show the spectator that you acknowlede drones as a threat and working to fix it.

Okay the VBIED (guess the "I" would be superfluous here) is a legitimate use case. But I would guess that is not going to be how the capability is gonna be used most of the time? Because using a whole ass APC is expensive, so if you are going to do it it would be better to use knackered old ones than brand new ones. But if if you are not to do the VBED thing, immediatly, why install the remote control hardware now? It's not like you can convert your APC into a VBED instantaneously, you still need to at the very least put in the explosives.

So if your APC is destroyed doing APC things, you have wasted your money on the self driving bits.

What else would you do with the self driving capability ? Medevac I guess. Ferry. Doesn't sound like much. Anything else?

The challenge would be compiling them to make Russia look good.

You know how you put a cable in your pocket and it gets tangled? It's because the odds of being in an untangled state are way lower than the odds of it being in a tangled state. It's sort of the same about looking at random Russian things and them looking good, it's possible but it's way more likely that any random compilation of Russian visuals is going to make Russia look very bad indeed.

>Russian Center-2026 joint exercise, brought a ton of new equipment showcases, some confirmations of standing claims, some interesting vehicles returning in the background
>I think the most interesting overall, is the rather public appearance of TShRK Shturm robotic assault complex, built on T-72 chassis and equipped with brand new unmanned turret systems, both in assault tank role, and a tank support vehicle role (a BMPT). The assault gun variant features a shortened 125mm gun, with special reinforcment at the end, to prevent damage in urban enviroments and during assault operations. The new turret still houses a typical T-72 AZ series autoloader, feeding the shortened gun with HE rounds. The assault gun variant features a shortened 125mm gun, with special reinforcment at the end, to prevent damage in urban enviroments and during assault operations. The peculiar shape of it, with receeded cheeks is caused by removal of space for the crew inside, what space is left, is meant only for servicing the vehicle and loading the autoloader or coax with ammo, there is no control equipment, and no space for it, it is fully unmanned.

In other news, the russkies fitted a working Arena-M APS to a T-72, Armata isn't dead, the engine's flaws are supposedly fixed (the engine itself isn't a copy of a German one), the new heavy BMO-T APC is in the pipeline along with a new unnamed mine clearing system and the UVZ is pumping 250 "new" tanks a year. Said tanks aren't going straight to the meatgrinder. The Kyiv is being struck on a daily basis.

English is pretty much fucked up when it comes to pronunciation, though.
German is a lot closer to 'latin' pronunciation, at least that is what a yt vid taught me.
This probaby makes it harder for English-speakers to wrap their head around how other languages pronounce things.

I absolutely agree on Polish being hard to read due to theri consonant salad, and having a few weird sounds compared to Czech or Slovak. . .but coming from a Germanic language most of the Slavic sounds are actually doable, they just use them to make funny words and have weird grammar.
I'm sure western Slavic languages feel the same about German.
