South Korean robots shoot North Koreans
The border between North Korea and South Korea is becoming more and more dangerous every day.
It was recently revealed that on July 14, the South Korean armed forces placed two patrol robots, each worth $330, on combat duty on the border with North Korea.
On the robots Samsung Techwin SGR-1 mounted machine guns Daewoo K3 with active stabilizers for sniper shooting.
It is officially announced that the robots SGR-1 successfully passed the baptism of fire in Iraq, carrying out an automated protection of the bases of the South Korean units. How many they killed the Iraqis - not reported.
Further I will quote the open prospectus:
At the bottom of the SGR-1 is a surveillance module. It is a turntable with cameras fixed to it on both sides and installed in outdoor enclosures. Under normal conditions, the observation is carried out by a CCD camera with a high resolution day / night camera (560 / 700 TVL) and high sensitivity (up to 0.0001 Lux). In conditions of fog, dust storm or gas attack, observation is carried out by a thermal imaging camera with an uncooled detector and viewing angle up to 20 °. This video system provides object detection at a distance of 4 km in the daytime and 2 km at night.
At the top of the device is a tracking module. It is a turntable with a joint tracking system fixed on it, placed in an outdoor enclosure. It consists of a CCD - day / night high resolution camera (450 / 470 TVL) and high sensitivity (up to 0.0001 Lux), an infrared diode projector (860 nm) with a 1.5 W power and a video detector in the laser range. This video system provides automatic tracking of the object at a distance of 2 km in the daytime and 1 km at night.
On the upper turntable, coaxially with the video system, there is a bracket for attaching special devices that provide actual protection of the object (automatic weapons caliber 5.45 mm or 7.62 mm.)

In the future, it is possible to create entire divisions from combat robots to patrol the 38 parallels.
Meanwhile, the North Koreans in Panmunjom (on the military demarcation zone 38 parallels) changed their usual caps to combat helmets for security and readiness for battle.
