Israel deploys robo-snipers on Gaza border

Israel has begun deploying stationary robot gun-and-sensor installations along its borders

with the Gaza Strip, according to reports.

Both Jane's Defence Weekly and Defence News reported last week that the Israeli Defence

Forces (IDF) have begun deploying automated gun stations in pillboxes along the Gaza border.

The robot systems are said to mount cal-fifty (12.7mm) machine guns, protected by "armoured

folding shields" until ready to fire.

Defence News says the auto-gun network is developed by Rafael, the Israeli state weapons

bureau. Given the reported calibre of the weaponry, this suggests that the gun-bots in use are

the Mini-Samson type, normally used as a remote-controlled gun turret on light fighting vehicles

so as to avoid a gunner having to poke his torso up out of a hatch (top gunner is one of the

most dangerous jobs in counter-insurgency vehicle patrolling.)

In this case, the automatic guns and their long range electro-optical sensors will be tied in by

optic fibre to a command network which will also be able to draw information from existing

ground sensors, manned aircraft, and overhead drones.

According to Defence News Tel Aviv correspondent Barbara Opall-Rome, "each machine gun-

mounted station serves as a type of robotic sniper, capable of enforcing a nearly 1,500-meter-

deep no-go zone".

"The IDF's Southern Command is also considering adding Gill/Spike anti-tank missiles to extend

the no-go zones to several kilometers, defense and industry sources here said."

The integrated robo-sniper network has reportedly been dubbed "See-Shoot" by the IDF,

suggesting that asking questions isn't on the priority list.

"Nobody has any business approaching our border fence," an unnamed Israeli official told

Opall-Rome. "It's well-understood that this area is off-limits..."

All in all, the Israeli gun-bot force seems distinctly more hardcore than the South Korean one.

Not only do the IDF robo-snipers pack a more #######-kicking gun, their automatic armour-shuttered

pillboxes seem a lot harder to circumvent than the Korean SGR-A1's "anti-theft alarm".

What's more, there seems to be a future plan for the Israeli gun systems to become true killer

robots rather than just remote hardened weapon stations.

"At least in the initial phases of deployment, we're going to have to keep the man in the loop,"

an unnamed IDF commander reportedly told Opall-Rome. "We don't want to risk making tragic

and politically costly mistakes with such a lethal system."

The birth of the real-life Terminator has begun! :o

Laugh all you want, but the UK Ministry of Defense have just launched a communication satellite

called Skynet which will be used to control airborne cyber-gunships remarkably similar to those in

the Terminator films. :whistle:

Those (or similar machines) have been around for a long while. They were deployed on the German-German border as well as along portions of the Berlin Wall decades ago. This ain't new. Just seems that the hardware is being refined and futher developed.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Showing support for Israel is somehow against VJs TOS? You bet I'll be contacting Ewok.

Like what Jenn? What did the leader of the Junior thought police catch me thinking?

censorship is bad

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).
