The Russian maker of the AK-47 just unveiled a golden robot straight out of 'Aliens'

Aug 22, 2018, 01:02 IST

The robot is 13 feet tall, weighs about 4.5 tons and has apparently been named "Igorek."

Igorek is operated by one or more controllers who sit behind the tinted windowed-cabin, which is reportedly bullet proof.

From the cabin, they can control the claws, which will apparently even be able to hold weapons.

While Kalashnikov is a legit company, Russia consistently makes wild claims about its hardware that it doesn't live up to. So who knows what will come of Igorek.

But if Igorek does pan out, Moscow might very well have another tool to carry Putin-critic Alexei Navalny away from protests, as this twitter user pointed out.
