The Ministry of Defence of the russian federationclaims that since the beginning of this year, their grouping in the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine has allegedly received about 700 robotic platforms.
There are platforms such as evacuation robotic vehicles, multifunctional wheeled or tracked remote-controlled platforms, including combat variants with various weapons.

The russian Defense Ministry also announced that by the end of the year it plans to supply about 2,500 more robotic systems to the battlefield.

Now it is impossible to verify the accuracy of these statements. Therefore, we should maintain some skepticism about the plans to more than triple the supply of robotic platforms to the frontline in six months.
On the other hand, it should be mentioned that russians are moving in this direction and testing certain possibilities for using robotic platforms on the battlefield. 2023 was the year of UAVs, while, more and more attention is being paid to ground-based unmanned systems in 2024.
In June of this year, one of Ukrainian manufacturers of robotic platforms emphasized that the russians have been increasing the range of robotic platforms over the past two to three months. At the same time, the Defense Forces of Ukraine have a qualitative advantage of these weapons.
It is known that russian occupiers use a wide range of ground-based robotic platforms including small surveillance drones and robots with electronic warfare systems.
However, Ukrainian manufacturers are also increasing the supply of robotic platforms to their troops. There is also an interesting initiative such as the robotic dog by Kurt & Company for the 28th Mechanized Brigade.
Earlier Defense Express reported Moscow had changed the rules of Armiya forum and would not show any wunderwaffes at the public.
