“Performs BMPs”: Ukraine was presented with a land drone with a 25mm gun

The land robotic VATAG complex, which performs the task of “heavy” logistics and lesions, was presented at the Brave1 Defense Tech Valley 2025 exhibition.

The leader of the project told “defenders” that the developers seek to put some functions of infantry fighting vehicles (BMP), MTLB and M113 on a robot. The purpose is to ensure the performance of individual logistics operations and lesions without human participation.

“From your personal experience, I will say that when you are inside the BMP, which something involves, you have neither time nor desire to find out whether you are alive, whether the machine is on the go, whether you can restart it. The first reaction is to throw everything and run out. But if the operator will work from a safe place, it can be a cold. To clean the infantry, “-said a representative of the developer company.

What is the first to come into the eye is weapons. The exhibition layout has a 25mm automatic cannon, but the modularity of the structure also allows you to put 12.7 mm machine gun or grenade launcher MK19.

“Our NRC is designed to use a regular automatic 25mm m242 bushmaster gun. That is, you can simply remove the gun from the Bradley car and put it on the platform. But the load lifting allows you to even install a full package of BM-21 reactive artillery on it,” the developer said.

Another function is logistics. The robot is able to take up to two tons of cargo and has an automatic discharge system due to the hydraulic system. The declared speed of automatic unloading is 27 seconds. Wheel formula 8×8, dimensions and weight provide patency in inaccessible places.

Vatag has different positioning systems, so it can deliver goods automatically to certain coordinates.

There is an electric engine with a large battery at work. Maximum off -road speed is 42 km per hour. To protect the sensitive components from the lesions, the complex has the stated protection of the Stanag 3 body (can withstand an explosion of 155mm of a projectile at a distance of 60m or hit a cartridge 7.62mm). This level of booking can be compared, for example, with the armored vehicle “Warta-2” from “Ukrainian armored vehicles”.

The mine protection is stated at Stanag 2 level, that is, the blasting of 6 kg of explosives under the wheel can withstand.

The main intrigue is the development price. The leader of the project noted that VATAG has a modular design, so the cost will depend on the customer’s request: the established control system, reservation, communication, means of damage, etc.

The machine is now in the process of codification and is undergoing joint tests from the Ministry of Defense.

Earlier the “defense” wrote that Tencore Introduced Updated ground drone Termit 2.0 with twice the best characteristics.
