In the absence of soldiers, they are good . The Ukrainian army has chosen to use a robot to fight on the front lines and prevent possible territorial advances by Russian forces.
And the ‘experiment’ has been really successful. The Ukrainian robot has been able to fight against for a total of 45 days. In this sense, it should be noted that the robot has not had any type of cover from Ukrainian combatants, He alone has managed to keep the Russian troops at bay over a month and a half.
In statements to Mykola Zinkevych, commander of the NC-13 Assault Company (part of the 3rd Corps of the Ukrainian Army) has stated that “Only the robot was present in the positions. That was our basic concept: robots do not bleed.”
The robot used by the country led by Volodymyr Zelensky is called Droid TW 12.7 and it has been developed by the Ukrainian company Devdroid. It is equipped with a 12.7 mm Browning M2 machine gun. In addition, grenade launchers can also be integrated into the robot.
Maximum range of 25 kilometers
According to information from Devdroid, the Droid TW 12.7 has a 5 kilometer tactical range and a maximum range of 25 kilometers. Its maximum travel speed is 7 kilometers per hour.
In terms of offensive capabilities, the robot can attack enemy targets at a distance of one kilometerso it has been very useful in preventing Russian forces from advancing into Ukrainian-controlled areas.
During its 45-day mission on the front lines, Droid TW 12.7 has traveled every two days to a maintenance point located about four kilometers from the front. There, the robot’s battery was recharged, its ammunition was replenished, and the status of its weapons was checked.
