The Ministry of Defense has codified and approved for use in the Armed Forces of Ukraine a domestically produced ground robotic system, the D-21-12R, equipped with a heavy machine gun.
This was reported by the Main Directorate for Armament Lifecycle Support, according to the Ministry of Defense.
The D-21-12R robot is capable of performing a wide range of tasks including surveillance, patrolling, fire support for units, and engaging enemy personnel and lightly armored vehicles. The operator controls the system from a protected shelter at a significant distance.
The complex features high off-road mobility, allowing it to traverse rough terrain, swamps, and shallow water obstacles.
