In Ukraine, they talked about the RSVK-M "Okhotnik" ground drone, which took part in the hostilities in the Donbas

RSVK-M "Hunter" from KB Robotics is one of the few Ukrainian ground-based drones used in real combat. It has been successfully tested for several years in units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine participating in military operations against the republics of Donbass.

The journalists of the Ukrainian edition of Defense Express talked with the representative of the manufacturer of this equipment Ivan Kirichenko, who spoke about the development, the experience of its application and its prospects.

He said that he initially created a stationary shooting complex, which was successfully tested in Donbass in 2016. But its mass, which is 120 kg, makes it difficult to deliver it to the "zero" zone and does not allow to quickly change positions. Therefore, they decided to create a mobile ground platform for him.

It turned out that this platform is more effective as a transporter and tow truck. Then, in the fall of 2016, the shooting complex was removed from it and transferred to one of the brigades of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, participating in the so-called "Operation of the Joint Forces", that is, in the war against Donbas. There, this technique was used in the delivery of goods to remote locations. In this regard, the name "Hunter" clearly does not correspond to the purpose of this platform.

This experience became the basis for the creation of a modern version of this machine - RSVK-M. This 600 kg platform has a 6x6 wheel arrangement with DC motors with a total power of 6 kW. One battery charge is enough to run up to 10 kilometers on difficult terrain. On a good road, the drone's range is much greater. Its ground speed is up to 10 km / h.

In the fertile Donbass chernozems, covered with tall grass and dead wood, RSVK-M, which is 70 cm high, is said to be "completely invisible."

In 2018, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has already announced how many such complexes it needs, but it is not possible to close this need, since the manufacturer is not ready to launch mass production due to lack of funds. KB Robotics does not receive any financial investment from the state, therefore it has to make do with its own resources and voluntary donations.

RSVK-M "Okhotnik" from KB Robotics - one of the few Ukrainian ground-based drones used in real combat. It has been successfully tested for several years in units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine participating in military operations against the republics of Donbass.

Let them say WHERE, and the drone deserts, with the transition to us ...

[Nevsky_ZU]

Robots appeared in Ukraine?
So everything is going according to plan ...
According to Hollywood's plan
Meanwhile, on the horizon, there was a grandiose cinematic joy.

The action movie "Outside the Wire" ("Death Zone") was released in the USA. Events unfold on the territory of Ukraine in 2036. The Ukrainian state does not exist, nor does the government. There is a civil war between the “pro-Russian rebels” of the battalion commander Viktor Koval - the so-called “Reds” - and the Ukrainian nationalist “militias” (yes, the translation sounds very ironic).

A "dirty" nuclear bomb was detonated in Kiev, local residents vegetate in post-apocalyptic ruins and cholera-infected refugee camps - but they speak good, correct Ukrainian. And the walls of the barracks are covered with the inscriptions “Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes! Ukraine is a mustache! Crimea, Ukraine!".

American troops are watching carefully to ensure that all this continues indefinitely. They sit behind a fortified perimeter and kill people with drones, cynically calling civilian deaths "collateral damage."

“How does it feel to see the results of your work? The local people were not orphaned by the civil war. Their homes have destroyed your bombs ... The United States wants to destabilize Russia by prolonging the conflict in our country, ”says the leader of the Ukrainian patriots, who began to understand something after more than twenty years of war, to the American drone operator.

However, this even robots understand. Combat robotics of Russian and American production is actively used in the conflict, but the Pentagon secretly uses in it a prototype android - a perfect killer with a phenomenally developed intellect. The android realizes that the US is the cause of the war and decides to eliminate it. I must destroy the monster - myself, and I must destroy my creator. America ... she must understand that wars must end. And I am the face of an endless war, ”says the combat android, about to launch old Soviet nuclear missiles at Washington.

To this end, he forges ties with Koval, who is leaving Moscow's subordination - and at the same time negotiating with Ukrainian nationalist militants. “Americans will understand what collateral damage is,” says the Ukrainian patriot ironically.

Of course, the Ukrainian viewers are already hysterical, and the reviewers are demanding to ban the enemy cinema. Some call it "leftist propaganda." We won’t be surprised if in 2036 this film is considered a prophetic film classic.

You have described everything colorfully. As if I went to the movies. Thank you.

It remains to supplement with frames from the film.
The Negro, in the second photo, is obviously the original inhabitant of Kiev?

Come on, colleague, it's too shallow! Obviously, this is the main character Koval, there is no other way in Hollywood today! I wonder if he is transgender?

can ride with laughter, because in the Russian voice acting EVERYONE speaks Ukromov, even "pro-Russian rebels and militants"

"Argument". Also interesting if you dig.

[Ros 56]

A mixture of the plots of this film and the Terminator may well become reality in 15-20 years.

[Avior]

Of course, the Ukrainian audience is already hysterical,

Can you give a reference, where are they hysterical?

[GAndr]

Thank you, I will definitely look! I read reviews about the film from the pan-headed reviewers ... I'm satisfied with the reaction of the Hohlopithecus;)

[Hwostatij]

Awesome article about how they tried to dazzle a stationary shooting complex, but it turned out to be an electric car that no one wants to buy

[dgonni]

A sensible machine for positional confrontation. It is not positioned as a super duper unparalleled. BUT is able to save the lives and health of the fighters.
By the way, the power of the army is formed from such bricks.

[Rose capone]

Until the first mine or the passage of the message. Nezhipapa will not finance. Freebies from all over the world are welcome there.

[dgonni]

Like any technique. The question is that during transportation the fighters are not at risk! And iron can be riveted.

[Insurgent]

Do you represent the production capabilities of the outskirts? What are you speaking about ?

[dgonni]

Quite! The order will be riveted. It's just a highly specialized platform. And massively it is not needed. But if you can cut the money, then they will completely build it.

I would like to hope that this is such a banter ...
If the power of the army consists of a six-wheeled piece of iron, which you can buy on Ali, if you wish, then it’s scary to think what the “whole multi-storey building” of army power looks like ...
Although, let it be the personal experiences of the Minister of Defense of the most independent country in the world

[dgonni]

Until the age of 41, the Red Army used to laugh like this about Deutsche inflatable boats and outboard long motors for them! As experience has shown, they easily seized bridges and bridgeheads with such inflatable ones.
And yes! This is the cube that saved the lives of the landing party. For fast assembly and fast crossing of the advanced subdivision!
You can keep laughing!

[Uncle Vanya Susanin]

There is no need to draw parallels between the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the Red Army, this is not historical, compare with the Armed Forces of the UPR or ZUNR.

[Cowbra]

However, there is no money for it - the life of a slave is much cheaper than a piece of iron. So he let the "deck" and drags.

This is what I see as an application of this, if I may say "drone", that it is in the delivery of logs, boxes, and other building materials and weights to the position.
There he can still demonstrate something as a "mule", everything else, the painted "combat use" is complete nonsense and nonsense from ukropaganda, which should show at least something "breakthrough" to the Svidomites ...

[dgonni]

Well, they also recognized that the greatest efficiency was achieved in the form of a leading edge conveyor.

Tady is not a robot, not a drone, much less a "combat platform", but a trite radio-controlled chassis-tractor.

Can you program it to the grocery store for vodka? And deliver to the trench.

[Katanikotael]

the charge lasts up to 10 kilometers, and this is most likely without any weights ... but who needs such a lazy mule?

[krops777]

Seriously? And where is the optics machine, for example? (two dome cameras whistling at the entrance do not count)

Actually, a hunter should hunt, not transport and evacuate, the name rescuer is more likely to be used here.

Judging by the lack of data on the protection of the case, in case of detection it will not last long. Will be disabled by small arms.

[tihonmarine]

the manufacturer is not ready to start mass production due to lack of funds. KB Robotics does not receive any financial investment from the state, therefore it has to make do with its own resources and voluntary donations.

As always, "dumb dumb", but help us dollar.
And how much hungry people can help.

[APASUS]

This is all a model circle, but in reality we will have problems if they put it all on the state track. The Ukrainians themselves are unlikely, it is easier for them to steal money, but the Americans .............?

[Maikcg]

Some kind of a small power reserve of the Ukrainian chariot.

Russian developers have tested the Marker universal platform for combat robots in a fully autonomous mode. During the tests, the platform covered 30 kilometers along the snow-covered forest steppe, according to the Advanced Research Foundation. The tests were carried out in the Chelyabinsk region and were considered successful.

[Crimean partisan 1974]

Some kind of small power reserve for the Ukrainian chariot ....... yes, no difference .... including these devices in the general accounting unit is tantamount to failure to fulfill the combat mission of the unit. for the task of the subdivision is based on Forces and Means ... and this misunderstanding is a weak link in it. from squad to company

[Maikcg]

It can carry cartridges.

[Kuzmitsky]

And you can send it for vodka.
