Kalashnikov Concern comes out with a mech design. It's fully armored, and yes it does move at the speed of smell. Apparently it's for dangerous disaster work like chernobyl, and things like explosive ordnance disposal, but people are still meming about it.
Although I'm surprised they didn't use tracks. Russians are pretty pragmatic about that.

So where do you think this is headed? Personally I think there might be a couple of idiots that buy it because FUTURE but in reality I can't see it going anywhere.
A powered / armored suit would be much more practical for EOD / disaster work while being much cheaper to build and maintain.
I think they want something with a crane or other attachment, and also ability to walk over rubble.
Pics related might be better, but with more articulation and servos.
The future is power armor, not these jokers.
Can it operate in a post-nuclear battlefield?
It's like if ED-209 was drawn by a 4 year old
Just needs a bit of adjusting, then we have real life battletech.
In all reality, it's was probably a "Let's make a mech for the fuck of it. If anyone asks, give some bullshit excuse.** kinda deal. Because what engineer wouldn't want to build a mech at some point if they have the dosh for it?
Looks like a statue. When there's video of it moving I'll believe it.
Where's Minovsky when you need him?
Beat em by at least half a century as usual.
