"This expands the capabilities of our defenders to carry out dangerous operations without exposing personnel to threat," said Deputy Minister of Defense Valeriy Churkin.
The Protector is designed to transport cargo weighing up to 700 kg and can also carry smaller drones intended for operations directly near the trench line. "This logistics complex can deliver 3-4 such robots simultaneously, significantly increasing the efficiency of their use," notes Vladyslav Belbas, head of Ukrainian Armored Vehicles.
The vehicle features a powerful engine, all-wheel drive transmission, and RunFlat tires that allow continued driving even after tire damage. A key advantage is rapid production and moderate cost.
The UGV Protector was developed in collaboration with the military, who since the beginning of the full-scale war have clearly understood what a "robot for the front line" should be. In the future, combat modules can be installed on the platform, enabling it not only to deliver equipment but also to directly defend Ukraine.
