🔥 In Ukraine, a kamikaze ground robot was created for the Armed Forces: how it is used by the military
Brave1 developers have created a new technology for the Ukrainian military - the ground-based kamikaze robot Ratel S. It allows you to hit enemy targets from a safe distance.
This kamikaze robot is capable of carrying anti-tank mines or a combat module at a speed of 24 km/h. In addition, it can travel a distance of 6 km and remotely blow up an enemy tank or dugout.
It may not need to if it just stays on roads. That, after all, is the primary method for vehicles to travel, which are its intended targets.
I can think of two reasons. Cost-per-kg-of-explosive delivered is much lower with this than quadcoopters, and loiter time. You could drive this thing with its huge explosive to a nice hiding spot miles away and leave it parked there for days. Your quadcopter loiter times is usually measured in minutes.
So use your quadcopters for observation, then drive your closest ground based drone to the approaching tank or vehicle.
