President learns about unique technology that cannot be automated
Alexander Lukashenko visited a workshop for correcting rifle barrels, where specialists possess skills no machine can replace. At the 'straightening' station, masters use a light beam to detect even the slightest barrel bends, then manually correct them by eye and touch. 'This is a world-class technology. Only the human eye and hands. You must precisely understand where the bend is and how much force to apply,' workers Andrey Lychkovsky and Andrey Franskevich explained. The President asked for clarification: 'So you are in a way special, unique people?' 'Unique specialists,' the masters confirmed. Even if there are multiple bends, the barrel is still corrected. High-precision equipment is powerless here. Final quality depends solely on human experience and intuition.
