Ukraine’s Defense Ministry has officially approved the new domestically produced unmanned ground vehicle, known as the Termit, for front-line use, the ministry announced on June 21.<\/p>\n

The tracked robot is a next-generation version of Ukraine’s existing ground-based unmanned systems<\/a> already deployed across the front. These systems have supported operations by transporting supplies, conducting reconnaissance, and carrying explosives in contested areas.<\/p>\n

Termit, the newest model in the series, features<\/a> improved mobility and modularity. The drone<\/a> can carry up to 300 kilograms and operates on various terrains thanks to its low profile, tracked design, and improved weight distribution. <\/p>\n

Its traction battery system allows for several hours of continuous movement over dozens of kilometers. According to the Defense Ministry<\/a>, Termit drones can be equipped with combat modules, used for medical evacuations, or for transporting specialized equipment as needed.<\/p>\n

Ground drones such as Termit are being used more frequently to minimize soldier exposure to front-line risks. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion<\/a> in 2022, Kyiv has prioritized the development of unmanned systems across all domains \u2014 air, sea, and land. <\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelensky<\/a> has called for the production of at least 30,000 long-range drones in 2025, alongside expanded investment in strike-capable hybrids such as the Palianytsia<\/a> and Peklo<\/a> missile-drone platforms.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Russia \u2018afraid to admit\u2019 scale of losses, trying to hide by dumping soldiers\u2019 bodies on Ukraine, Zelensky says<\/p>\n

Ukrainian authorities have confirmed that at least 20 of the bodies Russia returned as Ukrainian were actually Russian soldiers, President Volodymyr Zelensky said.<\/p>\n
