According to the company commander, who is called “Electric,” the idea was his own, and he removed the launcher from the aircraft that had been on display as a memorial to the city of Verestine for about 70 years. Another 150 rockets were retrieved, and are currently actively used to attack Russian forces.
The unexpected use of heavily armed ground drones disrupt the Russian troops and caused violent fire to the scene with all weapons, including conventional artillery.
This idea, which was initially considered “suspectful,” has already proven its effectiveness and is being actively utilized within the brigade.
Expanding utilization of ground platforms
The use of ground robots by the Ukrainian military is on the rise. For example, the 20th Independent Unmanned Systems Regiment, K-2, rescued four wounded soldiers in four days using robotic vehicles in combat zones.
