RPV-18 Rocket Propelled Flamethrowers To Be Installed on Ukrainian TerMIT 2.0 UGVs

The Ukrainian company Tencore is testing a new combat module equipped with 8 RPV-16 rocket-propelled flamethrowers for the TerMIT 2.0 ground-based robotic system.

This was reported to Militarnyi by the company Tencore.

The system combines a tracked platform with a unit capable of firing 93-mm thermobaric munitions.

The system is designed to remotely engage enemy personnel in bunkers, urban areas, and confined spaces, as well as light vehicles and fortifications.

The module’s design allows for both single shots and salvo fire.

The system provides an effective firing range of up to 600 meters with a maximum range of 1,000 meters; it operates in a vertical sector ranging from -8° to +20° and a horizontal sector ranging from -25° to +25°, with a rotation speed of up to 50°/s, and features a Full HD daytime camera with the option to install a thermal imager.

The module is equipped with a three-level safety mechanism to prevent accidental firing, and future plans include the integration of the Tencore AI KIT for operation in electronic warfare environments.

Currently, the development is in the prototype stage and has undergone initial field testing of the guidance mechanisms.

Upon completion of all testing and standardization, the system is scheduled to be delivered to the Ukrainian Defense Forces.

In May, it was reported that TerMIT 2.0 will be equipped with a Ukrainian automatic grenade launcher mounted in a turret.

The grenade launchers are to be supplied as part of a system that includes a ground-based drone and all necessary components, so they can be immediately deployed by troops on the front lines.

Additionally, Tencore and Insta will establish a joint venture to manufacture the TerMIT UGV system in Finland.
