24/10/2023
Ukrainian military technology cluster, Brave1, has unveiled its latest creation, a kamikaze Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) known as “Ratel S”.
Ratel S serves as a mobile carrier of anti-tank mines or bombs. Its key feature lies in the ability for operators to remotely hit hostile targets from a secure location, ensuring the safety of military personnel.
The system in question features a maximum speed of 24 km per hour and a range of up to 6 km. It can operate continuously for up to 2 hours without requiring charging. Ratel S has successfully completed field trials and is now in serial production, marking a significant advancement in Ukraine’s defence technology capabilities.
Here is a 🇺🇦-made kamikaze robot that'll soon rock Russians. Ratel S carries anti-tank mines & combat module. So, the operator can blow up enemie‘s equipment from a safe location. Ratel S already passed field tests & put into mass production. One more tech supported by @BRAVE1ua. pic.twitter.com/dqtS1WVUjW
