Ukraine is testing an unmanned robot D-21-11. The machine is equipped with an automatic turret and is capable of performing combat missions in hotspots, according to Mykhailo Fedorov, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Digital Transformation of Ukraine.
"D-21-11 is a universal Ukrainian robot created by members of the Brave1 defense cluster. The machine is equipped with an automatic turret and can perform combat missions. For example, it can conduct reconnaissance, assault or defend positions," Fedorov writes.
In particular, the vehicle can deliver ammunition or provisions to our soldiers. The combat part of the robot is completely removable.
What are the plans?
The combat part of the robot has already been successfully tested. The plans are to integrate NATO weapons into the robot and to strengthen its resistance to enemy electronic warfare.
The team is currently working on scaling up production.
Weapons production in Ukraine
According to President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Ukraine must become so strong and effective that Russia knows that every attack will be met with a response. To do this, it is necessary to increase the production of domestic weapons.
Ukraine already produces long-range weapons. For example, experts have managed to develop a new version of the long-range Neptune missile. In particular, it has recently become known that mass production of drones, which are a kind of analog to Iranian Shaheds, has begun.
According to the Minister of Strategic Industry Oleksandr Kamyshin, Ukraine has significantly increased the production of ammunition. For example, mines 42 times, artillery shells almost 3 times
