According to the press office of the 123rd Separate Territorial Defence Brigade, this is the first combat mission of its kind known to them anywhere in the world.
“This is a new approach to warfare, in which the most dangerous tasks are carried out by a machine, whilst Ukrainian military personnel are establishing new rules for modern combat. An unmanned raft carrying the robotic system makes it possible to deliver robotic platforms to areas where the risk to human life is extremely high,” the brigade stated.
As the press office noted, the operation was conducted under the command of Colonel Oleh Makukha and organised directly by Major Denys Gipik, commander of the brigade’s 1st Unmanned Systems Battalion.
