    Kalashnikov, which is most famous for its AK-47 assault rifle, is moving into new territory with a drone that can carry up to three kilograms of explosives and detonate on impact. The KUB-UAV can travel at up to 130 kilometers per hour (78 mph) and stay in the air for 30 minutes. As if there were any doubt as to Kalashnikov's intention for the device, a YouTube video shows the drone attacking some remote targets.

This week it unveiled a fleet of electric and hybrid cars, buggies and bikes in a move it believes will give Tesla a run for its money.
