The Ukrainian Armed Forces are increasingly using ground-based drones on the front lines, according to Business Insider
The Ukrainian military is actively expanding the use of ground-based unmanned platforms on the front lines, assigning them an increasing number of high-risk logistical and combat missions.
According to the publication, due to heavily mined areas, constant artillery shelling, and the widespread use of attack drones, delivering ammunition, provisions, and other equipment to forward positions has become one of the most dangerous missions on the front lines.
That is why the Ukrainian Defense Forces are increasingly deploying ground-based robotic systems, which help reduce risks to personnel and ensure that tasks are carried out even under the most challenging conditions.
Andriy Kushnerov, a platoon commander with the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ 59th Separate Assault Brigade, emphasized the importance of using such technologies:
“If you send a human driver to deliver such items, there is a very high probability that he will be killed,” the officer noted.
According to experts, ground-based drones are becoming a crucial element of modern warfare, helping to deliver cargo, evacuate the wounded, and carry out other dangerous operations without direct human involvement.
The use of robotic platforms helps save the lives of Ukrainian soldiers and improve the efficiency of logistics amid intense combat operations.
This was reported by Business Insider.
The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has already standardized more than 250 types of components for unmanned systems. The largest share of these consists of autonomous guidance systems, communication system components, ammunition control components, and other key assemblies.
Recently, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense standardized and approved for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine three fiber-optic FPV systems manufactured by companies under JSC “Ukrainian Defense Industry.”
Prior to this, the Ministry of Defense had standardized and approved the domestic “Volynyaka” unmanned aerial vehicle system for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Earlier, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine approved the Shablya MK19(M) remotely controlled combat module for use by the troops. It is equipped with an MK19 40-mm automatic grenade launcher.
Previously, the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine had standardized and approved the “Nebokray” mobile workshops for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The system is designed for the repair and maintenance of drones.
The Ministry of Defense has codified and approved for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine the new “General Chereshnya” FPV unmanned aerial system.
The Ministry of Defense has standardized and approved for use by the Armed Forces of Ukraine a new Ukrainian-made unmanned aerial system, the V-1. These ultra-light bombers are designed to strike concentrations of personnel, vehicles, and armored equipment.
