Moscow - Saba:
The Shanghai and Legushka drones are used by paratroopers in the Dnieper Group to deliver ammunition and supplies to the front lines, evacuate the wounded from the battlefield, and also as assault vehicles, a paratrooper officer codenamed "Min" told Sputnik.
The officer said, "What is special about this robotic technology? What is unique about it? It has a tracked base. This means that an off-road drone on a wheeled base, for example, can cross rough terrain and even come to a stop. This is because of the soft rubber tracks, which allow for smooth operation. Wheeled technology already has problems. The swamps are shallow, easily reaching a depth of half a meter."
The Shanghai and Ligoshka drones enable use over long distances and in more difficult terrain, increasing the unit's range. The paratrooper emphasized that an important additional advantage of the Shanghai is its high payload capacity.
The officer confirmed, "The drone can easily carry 200 kilograms. This means that two wounded soldiers can be easily transported, either loaded with ammunition or logistical equipment."
The Dnepr paratroopers use the off-road robotic drones to transport ammunition and supplies to the front lines, evacuate wounded personnel from the battlefield, and serve as assault vehicles.
In response to a question about the possibility of loading a TM-62 anti-tank mine onto a Ligoshka drone, Min told the agency: "It will work from here to there: absolutely true."
It's worth noting that the Dnieper Group of Forces' paratrooper units now possess a large number and a wide range of ground-based UAVs, allowing them to be used wherever necessary to accomplish combat missions while minimizing the risk to the lives of Russian Armed Forces personnel.
