Ukraine authorizes silent logistics robot for military use

This was reported by the Main Directorate for the Support of the Life Cycle of Armaments and Military Equipment, according to the Ministry of Defense press service.

The robot, with ballistic and anti-mine protection, is designed to perform logistics and evacuation tasks in combat zones.

"Due to its low height, the Zmiy Logistic remains inconspicuous on the terrain. The robot can carry several hundred kilograms of cargo or tow a trailer with an equivalent weight," emphasized Colonel Volodymyr Rochniak, head of the Main Directorate for the Support of the Life Cycle of Armaments and Military Equipment.

The ministry explained that the robot's towing capacity and weight are sufficient to evacuate not only people or cargo but also extract light vehicles from dangerous areas. Additional modules can be installed on it if needed.

The robot is also equipped with a silent electric motor. It moves on metal wheels with wide ground-engaging treads, allowing it to overcome rough terrain, stones, mud, and shallow water obstacles. The operator controls the robot from a safe distance.

• The Ministry of Defense has delivered nearly eighty Ukrainian-made trucks to the military, which will be used for special and combat tasks.
