Russian Forces Deploy UGVs Armed with AGS-17 Grenade Launchers

The Russians use unmanned combat ground vehicles with installed AGS-17 grenade launchers in the Bakhmut sector.

This was reported by the Telegram channel @stanislav_osman.

Both combat UGVs were reportedly destroyed by UAVs.

The UGV has tracks that are protected by metal panels. The front of the fighting vehicle is triangular, which is likely required to travel through the vegetation and ruins of buildings.

On the upper part, there is a combat module with an AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher and a large box for ammunition.

A mast is installed at the rear of the robot, which most likely has a camera.

The method of control for these drones is unknown. Each of them has a cable coil, so it can be assumed that control can be carried out using fiber optics or radio communication.

On March 16, 2024, Militarnyi reported that Ukrainian FPV drone operators destroyed two Russian ground drones in the Donetsk region.

The robotic platform of the invaders was defeated by the soldiers of the 53rd Mechanized Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Probably, before this, the enemy’s tracked drone was transporting boxes with cartridges to small arms or other infantry weapons.

Such a Russian unmanned ground evacuation and logistics platform has previously been spotted near Avdiivka.

The invaders use it to transport supplies and evacuate the wounded.
