Strike platforms, turrets, and equipment capable of destroying Russian positions and equipment, as well as performing tasks such as mining, demining, evacuating the wounded, and delivering ammunition to positions, were tested. The Minister noted that the robots had successfully proved themselves on the training ground. The main purpose of ground platforms is to minimize human involvement on the battlefield.
"In a few months, they will be on the battlefield - hundreds of different platforms will be purchased through UNITED24," said Mykhailo Fedorov. According to Mikhailo Fedorov, unmanned ground platforms will become the next game changer in this war.
"This is an asymmetric response to the enemy's numerical superiority," the minister added. Currently, more than 140 unmanned platforms are registered on the Brave1 platform, 96 of them have passed defense expertise, and 14 developments have been codified according to NATO standards. In particular, the Snail logistics platform with a carrying capacity of 200 kg was demonstrated.
The Snail is designed to deliver supplies and evacuate the wounded.
