మిలిటరీ రోబోట్స్ Top 5 Military Robots in the World Military Robotics & Autonomous in Telugu
As the Army-2018 international military expo opens its doors, the Kalashnikov Concern stands ready to present one of its latest creations to the public – the Soratnik (‘comrade’ in English) unmanned combat vehicle. Soratnik is a tracked armored vehicle fitted with a computerized control system, as well as detection and surveillance equipment, and can carry a variety of weapon mounts. Furthermore, the vehicle can operate in conjunction with other unmanned vehicles, including UAVs. But while Soratnik is an impressive military robot in its own right, there are also plenty of remotely-controlled unmanned systems out there worthy of note. The Recon Scout is probably the most compact of the mass-produced spy robots. This unmanned unit, which weighs only about 700 grams, can be fitted with a thermal imaging system, making it an invaluable tool for covert reconnaissance. It should be noted that while Russian scientists did develop an analogue robot that may even possibly surpass the Recon Scout, it is yet to be adopted by the military. The DOGO tactical combat robot, created by General Robotics Ltd, serves as proof that light unmanned recon systems can be quite deadly as well. This remotely-operated device is equipped with a 9mm Glock pistol, and can be deployed to swiftly neutralize enemy targets without endangering the personnel. The Foster-Miller TALON is probably the most mass-produced military robot out there, with over 3,000 units already made. This small tracked remotely-operated vehicle was actively employed by US forces in Afghanistan for explosive ordnance disposal, but it can also be employed for reconnaissance and can be fitted with a wide assortment of weaponry, including a machinegun, a sniper rifle and anti-tank rocket launcher. The Russian-made Uran-9 is likely the heaviest unmanned combat system out there. This 10-ton armored vehicle can be equipped with a 30mm cannon, a high-caliber machinegun, an anti-tank missile launcher and an Igla surface-to-air missile launcher. The vehicle is designed for remote reconnaissance and as a fire support unit.
Freshwater reservoir found at one of Beijing’s artificial islands in the South China Sea
- Chinese scientists discovered the body of water beneath Fiery Cross Reef and it’s thought to be expanding at a fast rate of 1 metre a year
- They believe land reclamation has accelerated the process, and similar reservoirs may be forming at other man-made islands.
A fast-expanding body of freshwater has appeared under one of Beijing’s controversial man-made islands in the South China Sea, a Chinese study has found.
The freshwater was discovered beneath Fiery Cross Reef, known as Yongshu in China, and is believed to be growing at a rate of about 1 metre (3.3 feet) per year – more than twice the speed observed on naturally formed islands.
Similar reservoirs could also be building up under other artificial islands across the region, according to researchers from the South China Sea Institute of Oceanology in Guangzhou.
They could “serve as an important water resource for local inhabitants and ecosystems”, the team led by marine geologist Xu Hehua said in a peer-reviewed paper in the Journal of Hydrology last month.
Beijing claims sovereignty over most of the resource-rich South China Sea, but there are rival claims from its neighbours, and its island-building activities over the past six years have unnerved the region and drawn criticism from the US.

The Basics of A Pescatarian Lifestyle
By Genevieve Smith
The pescatarian diet is essentially vegetarian, with the addition of fish and seafood. Being meat-and-poultry-free, this is a great way to reap the benefits of a vegetarian diet, but with the bonuses of extra proteins and omega fats. It’s a lifestyle compatible with a fast pace, easily allowing for modifications while dining out. If you’re considering making the switch — either because you’re finding yourself incompatible with the vegetarian diet or a carnivorous one is bringing you down — read on for further inspiration.
What Does a Pescetarian Lifestyle Look Like?
The fun of going pescetarian is the flexibility. It fits into the Mediterranean diet, but you can also choose something more Nordic or Japanese-based. The main point is to eat fruits and vegetables abundantly, pad it out with whole grains, legumes and nuts, and place fish centrally as the main source of protein. There is such a wide variety of seafood to choose from that people find satisfaction in the diversity available to them. Additionally, you can choose to be eco-conscious and look out for environmental health in moderately-sustainable ways within this diet. Choosing from sea life that are raised or fished sustainably and choosing to go organic and/or fair-trade with produce, dairy and grains and more, takes this healthy lifestyle one step further.
