Russia claims to be testing ground drones with payload of up to 250 kg

Rostec reports.

"One of the most important characteristics of robotic vehicles, along with their compactness and maneuverability, is their carrying capacity. For the Depesha, it is 150 kg, and for the Buggy, it is 250 kg," the statement says.

According to Rostec, these robots are capable of delivering ammunition, fuel, and even evacuating wounded Russian soldiers to the front quickly and unnoticed. They can also be used to hit targets.

The Depesha robot is assembled on a tracked platform and is controlled by an operator using a joystick and an FPV helmet. The Buggy robotic complex has a wheeled platform and is controlled by a joystick and tablet.

• The Russian army is deploying forces to strengthen its positions in the Kharkiv sector. This indicates a possible second phase of the Russian offensive in the region.
