Ukraine is expanding the use of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) in the war with Russia to reduce casualties and support troops, primarily for logistics and evacuation missions. The number of UGV missions has risen sharply, with around 9,000 completed in the previous month.
Ukraine is rapidly expanding the use of unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs) to reduce casualties and support troops in the ongoing war with Russia. The systems are increasingly used for logistics, evacuation, and combat support, with around 9,000 missions completed in the previous month. A senior operator from the 13th Brigade of the National Guard stated that the number of units reporting UGV use has grown from 50 to over 150 across Ukraine's Defense Forces. UGVs have delivered over 25 tons of supplies, including food, ammunition, and equipment, and evacuated more than 15 wounded soldiers. While some units are adapting UGVs for combat roles, logistical missions remain the primary use. The Ukrainian state is encouraging the expansion of robotic systems through incentive mechanisms.
