Russian enterprises have produced several variants of ground FPV “kamikaze” drones, aimed at demolishing defensive positions.

The Russian state corporation Rostec claimed that they created the first ground FPV drone “Depesha” in Russia.

“Depesha” and “Buggy” multifunctional robotic systems are presented by the companies “KBP” and “Signal.”

Both platforms can be used as ground “kamikaze drones” to hit targets by charge blasting.

One of the most important characteristics of new robotic systems is their carrying capacity. In “Depesha” it equals 150 kg, in “Buggy” – is 250 kg.

These remotely controlled platforms in various versions can be used to defeat manpower, fortifications such as pillboxes, bunkers, fortified firing points and strongholds.

In addition, robotic systems can perform mining tasks.

The “Depesha” system is assembled on a tracked chassis and is controlled by the operator using a joystick and an FPV helmet. The “Buggy” robotic system has a wheeled platform, it is controlled using a joystick and a tablet.

In addition, one of the defense enterprises created the ground drone “Lyagushka” (Frog – ed.), which should deliver explosives to the position.

It moves at a speed of 20 km per hour and is capable of carrying 30 kg of explosives.

Explosives, in the form of mortar rounds, are fixed on the drone with mounting foam. “Lyagushka” is also controlled with an FPV helmet. It is worth noting that the operators of all such ground drones face poor visibility, so they need adjustment from an unmanned aerial vehicle.

Recall that the Ukrainian military also uses strike ground unmanned platforms. In April, soldiers of the 63rd Mechanized Brigade showed the combat engagement of the ground “kamikaze.”
