Ukraine’s ground robots need pickup trucks to reach the front line. Photon from NOVA, a unit that took part in Operation Vivaldi, explains how these vehicles support missions and save lives.
In Part 2 of NAFO Convoy 58, we meet Ukrainian soldiers receiving vehicles funded by international supporters. Photon from the 3rd Assault Brigade discusses unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), transporting robots weighing around 300 kg, evacuating the wounded and the challenges of frontline logistics.
Assault troops, artillery personnel and combat medics explain why reliable transport remains essential in Ukraine’s drone war — from delivering equipment and supplying positions to evacuating wounded soldiers and providing treatment on the move.
