It should be noted that UDSh smoke grenades are used to create smoke screens. They weigh 13.5 kg, take 8-10 minutes to set up, and cover a distance of 100-150 meters.
It should be noted that russians are already deploying Courier UGVs on the battlefield. Armed with AGS-17 automatic grenade launchers, these platforms were completely destroyed by Ukrainian FPV drones. However, it should be noted that the enemy is developing and improving this field, and replicated a Ukrainian approach by establishing unmanned systems forces.
Earlier, Defense Express reported that russian forces had allegedly sent mini-Solntsepyok to the front lines. This name refers to ground-based robotic systems equipped with a combat module containing single-use rocket weapons.
