Deep dives
Emerging Ground Unmanned Vehicles
Ground unmanned vehicles are becoming increasingly relevant on the battlefield, offering the capability to transport larger payloads than aerial drones due to their energy efficiency. Both Ukrainian and Russian forces are experimenting with these vehicles; however, their use has not yet reached a scalable level. Communication challenges such as line-of-sight obstructions complicate control over these ground vehicles, often necessitating the use of repeaters. While deployment of vehicles like Shabla, equipped with remote-controlled machine guns, is ongoing, significant technological and funding obstacles remain for wider deployment of larger explosive payloads.
