A robotic cart carrying two anti-tank mines has devastated a Ukrainian covered trench, newly released footage shows
The Russian Defense Ministry has published footage of a ground-mobile kamikaze drone successfully targeting a Ukrainian covered trench.
Released on Thursday, the video features a small tracked vehicle armed with two standard anti-tank mines. The operator navigated it toward the entrance of the fortified Ukrainian position, guided by a reconnaissance drone keeping watch over its approach. The vehicle’s lethal cargo was then detonated, with each TM-62 mine containing approximately 8kg of TNT.
According to the video’s description, the footage was captured in Ukraine’s Kharkov Region.
While ground-mobile kamikaze drones are generally slower than their aerial counterparts and may be challenging to pilot in rough terrain, they offer significantly higher payload capacities. Both sides in the Ukraine conflict have employed such weaponry. Larger ground drones can also serve other roles, including in remote mining operations, as combat platforms, or for medical evacuation purposes.
