Ukraine showcases mass production of Ratel drones
A Ukrainian defense company has unveiled the large-scale production of its Ratel S unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs), robotic platforms designed for tactical operations against Russian forces.
These vehicles are being deployed in various roles, including remote mining and kamikaze missions, to strengthen Ukraine’s battlefield capabilities.
The Ratel S kamikaze variant can carry up to 35 kilograms of payload, while the mine-laying model is equipped to deliver two anti-tank mines. Both versions are designed for tactical efficiency, with a top speed of 22 km/h and a range of up to 6 kilometers.
The development underscores the rapid innovation within Ukraine’s defense sector amid the ongoing conflict. The company has prioritized scalability and adaptability, making the Ratel S an effective tool in countering Russian advances.
As Ukraine continues to modernize its defense capabilities, the Ratel S UGV represents a tangible example of homegrown innovation meeting the demands of modern warfare.
