“Ravlyk is compact and easy to transport on a car trailer. It weighs less than half a ton and can carry hundreds of kilograms of cargo or pull a vehicle of almost two tons,” the Ukrainian Defense Ministry said in a statement. The Kyiv military said the robot is resistant to dust, dirt and moisture, so it can operate without problems in harsh weather conditions. In addition, its electric motor and all-terrain tires allow Ravlyk to move smoothly, Ukrainska Pravda reported.
The Ukrainian military added that this all-terrain vehicle can easily overcome many obstacles and difficult terrain such as dirt roads, mud, sand dunes, narrow ditches and obstacles. Previously, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defense also approved the transfer of Shchedryk UAV to military units on December 25.
