After six months: what technique will turn the war in Ukraine and what is ready now (video)

Unmanned robotic complexes "Fury", Ratel, "Ros" are already used by defense forces against the invaders, and soon they will become even more. During the Forum "Ukraine. Rick 2024", the Minister for Strategic Industry, Alexander Kamyshin, stated that Ukraine would actively use land unmanned unmanned systems. Focus learned how a new "drone army" is being built in Ukraine and whether they can radically change the rules of battle.

In 2022-2023, unmanned aerial vehicles dramatically changed the fighting, pushing the infantry, tanks and even artillery, meanwhile, Kamikadze sea boats flooded several Russian ships and hit the Crimean bridge, causing great damage to the occupiers. Now comes the turn of the land drones that are already created in Ukraine. "Last year we saw in a large -scale business in the air drones, we saw them at sea. This year will be a year when we will see them on earth.

This year we will hear more about land systems," - said Alexander Kamyshin. The land drone is a robot on wheels or caterpillars that the military can control. In general, these devices are similar to children's radio -controlled machines, only intended for military purposes. The direction of ground robotic complexes (NRCs) is now one of the priority for the Brave1 platform, Natalia Kushnerka, the head of the Defense Tech cluster, said focus.

The organizers of the project are systematically working to find the most effective solutions, to develop appropriate accelerated procedures, to form an environment of engineers and manufacturers that focus on work. Today, more than 1300 developments are submitted to the platform by 12 verticals, which are prioritized for defense security forces. Among them are NRCs, IECs, automated communication and information security systems, artificial intelligence, demining and more.

Of the 1300 developments - more than 140 are ground robotic complexes. 10 models were codified according to NATO standards, which opens the way to contract, they have actually become pioneers in this area. Terrestrial drones are already being used in the battlefield, but before Brave1 began to actively develop this area, Ukraine did not have the appropriate accelerated delivery procedure to the front. It is now introduced and already shows its results.

"Our primary goal - minimized human participation in the battlefield. This will preserve the life and health of Ukrainian soldiers. Work can shoot, conduct reconnaissance, deliver cargoes, evacuate wounded, change and vice versa to exchange - and all this removing our defenders directly from" zero. In a comment to Focus, the developer of Ukrainian Rate Rate Rate Rate Ostapchuk explained that the main advantage of using such machines on the battlefield is to preserve the human resource.

In his opinion, it is because of this production of land drones is a very promising area for development in Ukraine, the state and cluster Brave1 help very much. "This is just beginning to apply. I am sure that it will be our considerable advantage over time, which will lead to the preservation of personnel and compensate for the difference in people between us and the Russians," Taras Ostapchuk said.

According to it, the mass introduction and use of land drones will take about 6 months, taking into account the training of operators. It is not difficult to teach the military to manage such a device as a whole, the basic course takes two weeks. "Further, the issue of skills and good planning of operations taking into account the local relief," the developer emphasized. Taras Ostapchuk, along with his team, has already developed several models of land drones.

Ratel-S will deliver up to 35 kg of explosives up to 5 km. It can act as a drone-Kamikadze, blowing up with the target, and remotely change the territory, but for this purpose it is necessary to install a special module for discharge of mines. Ratel S is allowed in operation in the Armed Forces and is already produced. For several months, all kinds of troops have been used on the line of contact. Ratel M is a cargo wheel drone that lifts a weight to 250 kg.

It can work from the battery for 8 hours in summer or 5 hours in winter, full drive and large wheels allow you to overcome steep obstacles on the way, the maximum control range is 6 km. The Ratel M model is also allowed to operate and is already used on the front. It is designed to carry military cargoes such as ammunition and food, evacuations of the wounded. In addition, the device can install equipment for demining anti -personnel mines, which makes the sappers on the battlefield safer.

The Ukrainian startup Dons, which is part of Brave1, has created a land robotic complex "Fur". The developers reported focus that the product passed the Ministry of Defense commission, now in the process of obtaining codification with the assignment of a NATO nomenclature number. The first prototype is currently used, and the transfer of a new sample for experimental operation in the Armed Forces is planned in the near future.

The ground robotic platform has several appointments for tactical use - duty on positions and observation points, mobile moving Turel, distraction of the enemy's attention on himself, detection and suppression of enemy fire points. Roboneers also shared with focus details about its unmanned land robotic complex "lynx", which helps the military to evacuate the soldiers from the battlefield, carry weapons and cargo of various types into the hottest sections of the front.

Engineers have developed two modifications of the Platform "Lynx" and "Lynia Pro". If the "lynx" withstands a load up to 150 kg, then "lynx Pro" is twice as much - up to 300 kg, which is two sitting or two lying on stretchers. What challenges or problems are solved by the development: in January the commander of the platoon of the first separate battalion of the Armed Forces "Wolf Da Vinci" Alexander Yabchanka said that the Ukrainian military was installed on the platform "Lyn 7. 62 mm.
