This was reported by Mykhailo Fedorov, the Minister for Digital Transformation of Ukraine, on Telegram.

Ratel H was developed by members of the Brave1 defense cluster. The robot can carry about 400 kilograms of live load, so it is capable of transporting several people at once.

Thanks to its design, the robot can move over difficult terrain and is quiet, so it is invisible to the enemy. Ratel H is also equipped with night cameras to effectively perform tasks in low visibility and at night.

The machine can perform various tasks. The robot can be equipped with an electronic warfare system, a mobile observation post, a combat module or a demining unit. The complex is equipped with satellite communications, so the operator can control it at a long distance.

"Ratel H has already been field tested and put into mass production - the military is using it and giving positive feedback," Fedorov said.

Weapons production in Ukraine

Ukraine has significantly increased its arms production during the war. Both state-owned and private enterprises produce weapons. Ukraine has also launched joint projects with partners.

Earlier, the SBU chief Vasyl Maliuk said that maritime drones are being developed at enterprises located underground. This protects the plants from Russian missile attacks.
