A new ground robot with a machine gun has been codified for deployment in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The Ministry of Defence has codified and adopted the domestically produced D-21-12R ground robotic system for deployment within the Defence Forces of Ukraine. This was reported by the MoD’s Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment.

The ground robotic system is fitted with a large-caliber machine gun. It is capable of performing a wide range of tasks, including surveillance, patrolling, providing fire support for our units, targeting enemy personnel and lightly armored vehicles, and more. The system excels in traversing off-road environments, marshlands, and shallow water barriers. The system's actions are controlled by the operator from a protected shelter located at a considerable distance.
