New AI-powered sight for AK-12 with GPR-20 grenade launcher developed in Russia

The device is equipped with a thermal imager and ballistic computer

A promising computerized sight for mounting on the AK-12 assault rifle with the GPR-20 grenade launcher was presented at a closed exhibition. This was reported by military expert Evgeny Damantsev.

The new product is equipped with a laser rangefinder, a ballistic computer, an electronic weather station, a thermal imager, and a machine target recognition system based on artificial intelligence (AI) and uploaded templates.

According to the patent, the sight is capable of identifying an enemy soldier and calculating the point of impact of a 5.45 bullet fired from an assault rifle or a GPR-20 rocket-propelled grenade, taking into account the distance and wind, thanks to a ballistic computer with corrections for wind speed and direction, pressure, temperature, and humidity.
