In the ongoing conflict in eastern Ukraine, the Fifth Brigade of the Ukrainian army has deployed unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to deliver critical supplies to troops on the frontline in Pokrovsk and Myrnograd. These robotic devices, often referred to as ‘land drones,’ have become indispensable in a region where Russian forces are aggressively targeting supply routes. The UGVs, resembling mini tanks without turrets, are small, agile, and capable of navigating narrow paths, making them ideal for transporting food, ammunition, and fuel to soldiers in perilous conditions.
