He traveled more than 40 km over land and water and delivered the cargo to the front lines.

For the first time, the Ukrainian military carried out a logistics mission using an amphibious ground-based robotic system, which traveled more than 40 km over land and water and delivered supplies to the front lines.

This was reported by reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

One of the first such missions was carried out by servicemen of a separate mechanized brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. They used a Ukrainian-designed ground-based robotic amphibious system.

While carrying out the mission, the robotic complex traveled more than 40 km. The route ran both over land and through water. The complex delivered provisions and ammunition to the positions.

Water obstacles remain a challenge for military logistics. Rivers, canals, and marshy areas can hinder the movement of a conventional ground robot or even make it impossible to complete the route.

The amphibious ground robotic system eliminates the need to switch vehicles when traversing such a route. On land, it moves like a conventional ground robotic system, and if necessary, it can enter the water and continue moving.

“We are expanding the capabilities of robotic systems so that the Ukrainian military has more technological tools to carry out combat missions,” the Ministry of Defense concluded.
