Ukraine Ground Drones Have Eliminated Over 100 Russians At Pokrovsk, Toretsk

Ukraine's increasingly lethal ground drones have been credited with eliminating over 100 Russian soldiers on the Toretsk and Pokrovsk fronts, mostly by taking explosives to Russian defensive positions.

The UGVs are also being used for a growing number of logistical tasks like delivering ammunition, rescuing the wounded and retrieving downed aerial drones. Their use is expected to increase exponentially in the next few months. JL 

Ukrinform reports:

On the Toretsk and Pokrovsk fronts, fighters from the HUR's (Ukrainian intelligence) unmanned systems unit used ground drones to eliminate up to 100 enemy troops. These hard-to-detect 'couriers' carried out a series of explosive deliveries directly to Russian positions. Officers recently showcased an experimental ground drone equipped with a grenade launcher — a combat platform designed to strike enemy targets hiding in cover. The system is currently being adapted for combat conditions. Ground drones are also used for evacuating damaged equipment and delivering ammunition, FPV drones, fuel, and food supplies to frontline positions — all without putting personnel at risk.

Military intelligence operatives continue to advance the use of ground-based robotic systems for logistics, evacuation, and the destruction of enemy personnel and fortifications.

That is according to the Ukrainian Defense Ministry's Main Intelligence Directorate (HUR), Ukrinform reports.

The HUR said that ground drones are also used for tasks such as evacuating damaged equipment and delivering ammunition, FPV drones, fuel, and food supplies to frontline positions — all without putting personnel at risk.

"Such logistical operations are actively carried out on the Toretsk, Kupiansk, and Pokrovsk fronts," the agency added.
