The Ministry of Defense has allowed Krampus robone-dwelling in the Armed Forces: platform capabilities

To spread: The Ukrainian army has adopted the mobile flame -mobile shock complex of Ukrainian development called Krampus. The land robot is designed to perform assault and defense tasks, in particular in complex terrain and in adverse weather conditions. This was reported on May 19 by the General Directorate of Supporting the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment.

The complex is a tracked platform with an electric drive, capable of moving off -road, in the forest area, sand, swamps, overcoming slopes and working in frost, heat, rain and snow. Due to the two silent Krampus electric motors, it is secreted, and the battery energy supply allows you to operate in the next mode for several hours without recharging.

Krampus is equipped with a combat module with reactive infantry flamethrowers of the RPV-16, designed to damage the live force, fortifications and light-armed enemy equipment. For navigation and targeting, the platform has camcorders that allow the operator to operate remotely and accurately bring their weapons. Since the beginning of a full -scale invasion, Ukraine has increased sharply the pace of implementation of land robotic complexes (NRCs).

According to the Ministry of Defense, since 2022, more than 80 ground drones were admitted in the defense forces forces, most of which were developed by Ukrainian producers. In 2023, nearly 10 domestic NRCs were codified, in 2024-more than 50, and since the beginning of 2025-more than two dozen. These platforms perform a wide range of tasks: from intelligence, mine engineering and logistics to the evacuation of the wounded, patrolling and strikes.

Some NRC modifications, including Krampus, act as shock drones, others are used as self-propelled drones. The technical characteristics of Krampus thus the Krampus complex has become part of a new stage of work of the Defense Forces of Ukraine, where more and more tasks are entrusted to land unmanned unmanned systems, designed in accordance with the conditions of modern war.
