The "Tallamho" design bureau from Grozny, Chechnya, is completing work on the domestic optical system for detecting snipers and saboteurs, "Ronin." It has already been tested at the Russian University of Special Forces. In February, the system will already be in combat conditions, when the final stage of development is completed.
As the creators of "Ronin" told the "TASS" news agency, the device is assembled from civilian parts. It is quite simple to assemble and is characterized by low cost and small dimensions - about 25 cm. The system looks "like a ten-inch tablet, with a power supply and a board processing signals attached to the back side".
"Ronin" handles three functions. It conducts reconnaissance and calculates the geographical coordinates of the observed object in the absence of reference to the terrain. As a guard, it detects any optics, including passive ones, directed from the enemy towards the base.
As for aiming, it is the same security, but with reference to an automatic weapon platform. That is, after detecting the target, our weapon automatically aims and fires.
The "Tallamho" ("Pathfinder") design bureau was created in 2022 under the auspices of the team of the head of the Chechen Republic, Ramzan Kadyrov. It is engaged in dual-use IT developments that can be used for both military and civilian purposes.
