Ukraine Achieves Historic First Kill With Ground Combat Robot Against Russian Armor

Описание: successfully destroyed a Russian armored vehicle in combat. On December 10, the 5th Separate Assault Brigade deployed the DevDroid robot, equipped with a heavy 12.7mm machine gun, to intercept an incoming MT-LB armored personnel carrier. Using thermal imaging, the operator precisely targeted the vehicle, halting its assault and causing it to spin out of control—all without risking a single Ukrainian soldier.

This milestone marks a major evolution in Ukraine’s battlefield strategy, transforming ground robots from logistical assets to offensive weapons capable of countering Russia’s armored units. Developed under Ukraine’s Brave1 innovation program, DevDroid showcases the potential for unmanned systems to serve as force multipliers, especially amid Ukraine’s ongoing manpower challenges.

The successful mission not only disrupted a live assault but also proves that robots can change the rules of modern warfare, providing flexibility, precision, and a technological edge against conventional forces. As Ukraine continues to innovate, ground robots like DevDroid are likely to become a critical element of frontline defense and offensive operations.
