In Ukraine’s ‘Kill-Zone’, Robots as a Lifeline for Troops

The battle for Pokrovsk marks a historical shift, with UGVs now handling about 90% of frontline deliveries. These mini tank-like machines navigate dangerous terrains, while soldiers operate them safely from afar. Despite heavy drone activity in the kill-zone, where any movement risks attack, UGVs are indispensable in ensuring Ukrainian forces remain supplied and supported.
