Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhailo Fedorov has announced that a Ukrainian ground-based robotic platform Ratel S has undergone successful field testing and has been launched into serial production – the development that was designed by Ukrainian engineers from Brave1 military technology cluster.
“Here is a 🇺🇦-made kamikaze robot that’ll soon rock Russians. Ratel S carries anti-tank mines & combat module. So, the operator can blow up enemie‘s equipment from a safe location. Ratel S already passed field tests & put into mass production. One more tech supported by @BRAVE1ua,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.
