There are plans to manufacture Ukrainian Ratel ground robots in Canada

The Ukrainian company Ratel Robotics and the Canadian company General Dynamics Mission Systems-Canada have signed a memorandum of cooperation. 

The parties are exploring the possibility of jointly manufacturing ground-based robotic systems for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in Canada.

 As part of the agreement, they plan to combine Ukraine’s experience in developing and deploying ground-based robotic systems with the Canadian company’s manufacturing capabilities and expertise.

GDMS-Canada noted that the collaboration should help scale up Ukrainian robotic solutions and support their production.

Taras Ostapchuk, CEO of Ratel Robotics, also confirmed the signing of the agreement. According to him, the Ukrainian Ratel unmanned ground vehicles are planned to be manufactured in Canada for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

The operator of a Ukrainian ground-based robotic system narrowly avoided an attack by an enemy FPV drone at the last moment. Thanks to a sharp maneuver, he managed to confuse the Russian operator and evade the strike.

As a reminder, the Ukrainian Armed Forces carried out localized counterattacks and advanced on several sections of the front. According to the Institute for the Study of War, Ukrainian forces halted the Russian advance in the Kozacha Lopan area and also achieved successes near Kostiantynivka and in the Zaporizhzhia region.
