Ukrainian Armed Forces show how a combat robot with the “ShaBlya” module dismantles enemy positions (video)
Ukrainian military uses Ironclad robotic platform from Ukrainian company Roboneers on the battlefield
The press service of the 5th Separate Kyiv Assault Brigade released a video of an interesting episode filmed from a drone, showing a ground-based robotic platform firing at the positions of the Russian occupation forces. “A combat drone operated by professional soldiers of the 5th Brigade is dismantling an enemy position. The fantastic future has already arrived,” the brigade commented on the video.
The footage shows the Ukrainian robot Ironclad from Roboneers. Last fall, Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov said that the Ukrainian Defense Forces are already using this development to perform a number of different tasks, from reconnaissance to fire support and assaulting enemy positions.
This ground robotic platform is armed with a domestic combat module “ShaBlya” (also developed by Roboneers), which was used in combat back in 2014, and earlier this week the state contracted these combat modules for the first time.
In general, the Ukrainian military is currently using or testing a number of different robotic platforms, both from Western companies and domestic production, in one form or another (either fully or as part of testing), and this includes a fairly wide range of systems for performing various platforms, from evacuation and transportation to combat missions.
The development of kamikaze robots or remote mining platforms is worth noting: their use spread last year, and the enemy is also developing in this direction, testing various options on the battlefield.
Earlier, Defense Express reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine are likely to test options for combining robotic platforms and tanks on the battlefield – earlier, one of the tank brigades of our army received Trail-Blazer ground robotic systems from the Czech company Isolit-Bravogj.
