Ukraine unveils robotic drone tank to carry out hidden grenade attacks

Ukraine has unveiled a new unmanned ground combat system developed by Frontline Robotics and BUREVII, featuring a remotely operated turret armed with a Mk 19 automatic grenade launcher mounted on the ARDAL mobile robot. This robotic platform is designed for multi-role battlefield operations, including fire support, logistics resupply, and casualty evacuation, allowing operators to conduct missions without direct exposure to enemy fire. The system employs a map-based fire-control mechanism that calculates firing data automatically, enabling strikes on designated coordinates without direct line-of-sight. It supports programmable area-fire modes and can compensate for uneven terrain, achieving an accuracy of about three meters at ranges up to two kilometers. The platform can operate autonomously or semi-autonomously, following preplanned routes over long distances to reduce operator workload and sustain extended missions. In addition to this system, Ukraine has integrated other remote weapon systems onto unmanned ground vehicles, such as the BURIA remote weapon station mounted on the THeMIS platform. This setup includes a 40
