Russian engineers from the city of Omsk unveiled on July 22 a unique military tracked vehicle that can be operated by a driver, or remotely as a ground drone.
The vehicle, which was developed in cooperation with the Kulibin Club of the People’s Front, was presented with the Omich ground robotic complex.
Dubbed “Omich,” the vehicle was especially developed to carry out logistic missions in high-risk hard-terrain areas within the special military operation zone in Ukraine, like evacuating wounded troops and delivering all sorts of supplies, including weapons and ammunition.
“The vehicle can carry more than 500 kg, and more than a ton can be transported with a trailer, it can tow cars, minibuses. In extreme cases, it can even help an armored personnel carrier get out of the mud. The operational range is over 30 km,” said a representative of the manufacturing company, Ruslan, call sign “Thirty,” in a video showcasing the vehicle.
The most unique feature of the Omich is that it can be driven like an all terrain vehicle, or operated from a remote location like a ground drone.
It’s worth noting that the optionally-manned vehicle is already in active service with the Russian military in the special military operation zone.
The Russian military has been increasingly using ground drones for all sorts of tasks, from basic logistic missions, to mine clearance and even to attack Kiev forces with machine guns and rockets, or target their fortified positions in one-way, or suicide, attacks.
