The Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has approved the use of the latest D-21 unmanned logistics system in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Censor.NET reports this with reference to the press service of the Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Arms and Military Equipment.
This robotic system, developed by Ukrainian engineers, is designed to perform various logistics tasks on the battlefield. In particular, it can transport food, ammunition, military equipment and even evacuate the wounded.
The D-21 operates in two modes: manual and automatic. In automatic mode, it follows a predefined route, which reduces time and human resources. The complex is equipped with an electronic interference-resistant control channel, which allows the pilot to control it from a safe place.
The D-21 is unique in that it can be fitted with a remote combat module with a machine gun, which gives it the function of fire support. This allows the robot to be used both in peaceful logistics operations and in combat. According to Mykhailo Fedorov, Minister of Digital Transformation, the robot's combat unit has successfully passed tests and received positive feedback from the military.
The developers plan to integrate NATO weapons into the D-21 and enhance its resistance to enemy electronic interference. They are also working to scale up production to meet the needs of the frontline.
