The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has approved the domestic logistics robot "Zmey Logistical" for use within the Defense Forces.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.

The robot is equipped with ballistic and anti-mine protection. It is specifically designed to perform:

• logistical tasks;
• evacuation missions in combat zones.

"Due to its low height, the 'Zmey Logistical' remains inconspicuous on the ground. The robot can carry several hundred kilograms of cargo or tow a trailer with a similar weight," said Colonel Vladimir Rochniak, head of the Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Armaments and Military Equipment.

Thanks to its mass and towing capabilities, the robot can evacuate not only people or cargo but also light vehicles. In particular, additional modules can be installed on it.

"The robot is equipped with a silent electric motor. It moves on metal wheels with wide tread patterns, allowing it to navigate rough terrain, rocks, swamps, and shallow water obstacles. The operator controls the robot from a safe distance," the Ministry of Defense reports.

Recall that RBK-Ukraine previously reported that the Ministry of Defense recently started its own production of coded FPV drones.
