You may have heard of a UAV, or unmanned aerial vehicle, but have you heard about UGVs? UGV stands for unmanned ground vehicle and, just like it sounds like, a UGV is basically a tank drone. One of Russia's newest UGV robotic tanks, called the Soratnik, which means c comrade-in-arms, trained side by side with Russian infantry forces at the Alabino training ground near Moscow on Wednesday. The Soratnik was joined by another UGV called the Nerehta, which sports 4 anti-tank missile bays. Both systems are piloted remotely by expert crews from up to 6 miles away and can reach speeds of up to 25 miles per hour. Both the Soratnik and the Nerehta are built by the Kalashnikov Concern, the same company that manufactures the legendary AK-47. Russian Defence Ministry officials kept a sharp eye on the UGV systems - they will ultimately decide if the Soratnik or the Nerehta enter into active military service. Soratnik is a seven-ton robot tank that can be equipped with machine guns of various calibres, grenade launchers and guided missiles with a range of three miles. The UGVs are designed to keep human beings out of harm's way on the battlefield and may herald an entirely new type of warfare.
A former coal-fired power station in Lünen, Germany, is partially destroyed in three controlled explosions. The 110-metre high cooling tower, the 250-metre chimney and the 70-metre boiler house collapse under the blasts, requiring 420 kilograms of explosives in 2100 bores. The Lünen coal-fired power station was commissioned in 1938 and its dismantling began in June 2020. Germany has decided to abandon coal by 2038, although it still accounts for a quarter of its energy mix. IMAGES

Apple TV+ has released a trailer for the new documentary that highlights Billie Eilish. According to CNN, the project about the singer and songwriter will be released on Apple TV+ on February 26, 2021. The film, titled "Billie Eilish: The World's A Little Blurry," tells the life story of the 19-year-old star. Eilish gained a huge following the release of "Ocean Eyes," in 2015, which was written by her brother Finneas. The teen shot to superstar status at the age of 17 when her track "Bad Guy," shot to number 1 on the Billboard charts.
Russian scientists teamed up with Special Forces in Voronezh on Tuesday to test a special quadcopter which they claim is controlled entirely by one's eye movements. At the heart of the technology is an augmented reality helmet that displays video both from the drone and from a camera mounted at the front of the helmet, allowing the user to see ahead while controlling the drone. Special sensors inside the helmet track eye movements and convert those movements into commands for the drone.
