Ukraine unveiled a new exploding ground drone designed to carry bombs and anti-tank mines into battle against Russia. The unmanned ground vehicle (UGV), named Ratel S or Honey Badger, can carry up to 77 pounds at a maximum speed of 15 miles per hour, its developer Brave1 told Insider. "The main idea is that the robot is used as a mobile warhead that carries anti-tank mines or other explosive devices," said Brave1 spokesperson Viktoriia Kovalchuk. The drone can run for 40–50 minutes at an average speed or for up to two hours at a slower speed, she said. Images of the machine were shared on X on Tuesday by the Ukrainian minister Mykhailo Fedorov, whose remit includes innovation and digital transformation. Video: YouTube link Wolfhag |

Sounds like a Goliath from WW2. |

Didn't they say it can also drag a wounded soldier back for treatment? |

The Goliath had armor and was wire-controlled with only an HE charge. Wolfhag |

The Goliath had armor and was wire-controlled with only an HE charge. Different war, different technology. |

If we had ever developed miniature nuclear reactors we'd have anime style power armor on the battlefield by now. |

I LOVE TMP. MSM: "Ukraine introduces new GROUND DRONE!!!" TMP members: "yep that's a different take on Goliath, 80 YEARS AGO." L.O.L. |
