Ukrainian Defence Ministry authorises use of unmanned amphibious platform UNEX UGV
The Ministry of Defence of Ukraine has approved the domestically produced UNEX UGV remote-controlled self-propelled armoured platform, which can operate in difficult conditions, including water, mud, and ice, for use by the Ukrainian defence forces. Source: Ministry of Defence Quote: "The self-propelled platform is built on a special chassis that provides exceptional mobility in the most difficult conditions. The platform can easily move on water, floodplains, marsh, mire, sand, difficult surfaces and ice." Details: According to the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine, the UNEX UGV remotely controlled armoured platform has unique cross-country characteristics: it can overcome water bodies, fallen trees, ditches, large stones and even drive out of water onto ice. The amphibious vehicle can operate in challenging weather conditions and at different temperatures. The Ministry of Defence reported that the platform is equipped with a reliable radio control system, powerful batteries, resistance to electronic warfare, and a programmable autopilot. The UNEX UGV can be adapted for various tasks, such as combat modules, electronic warfare, logistics, evacuation, and mine-clearance. Due to wide tyres and optimal weight distribution, the platform exerts less pressure on the ground than an infantryman's foot. This allows it to pass through anti-personnel and anti-vehicle mines. During the presentation, the UNEX UGV demonstrated its delicacy by driving over a ceramic plate and a coffee cup without damaging them. Background: On 25 December 2024, the Ministry of Defence approved the supply of the Shchedryk domestic unmanned aerial vehicle to military units. On 27 December, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine codified and allowed Ukrainian troops to use the Ravlyk robotic platform. On 13 February, the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine allowed the use of Spextr ground robotic systems of various modifications in the defence forces, which are assigned a wide range of tasks.

Liut robotic system armed with machine gun approved for use in Ukrainian Armed Forces
Ukraine's Defence Ministry has approved the use of the Liut (Rage) ground robotic system in defence forces units. The system is designed for various tasks, including reconnaissance and fire support. Source: Ministry of Defence of Ukraine Quote: "The Liut robotic system has been tested in real combat conditions. The robot is armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun and additional equipment, allowing it to detect and strike targets both day and night." Details: The Liut system is compact, allowing it to be transported in the back of a military pickup truck, and operates on a silent electric motor. Its batteries provide extended operational time. Thanks to its high ground clearance, Liut can navigate difficult terrain with stability and functions effectively across a wide temperature range. The operator controls the system from a secure position, avoiding direct exposure to danger. The robot's primary role is to support units and replace soldiers in the most dangerous situations. Background: On 27 December 2024, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry codified and approved the use of the Ukrainian-developed Ravlyk robotic platform for the Armed Forces. On 13 February, the Defence Ministry authorised the use of various modifications of Spextr ground robotic systems in defence forces units. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!
