Russian land robot “Courier” actively participates in special military operation

Russian troops have long been waiting for robots capable of supporting them in real combat. Such robots have already appeared on the battlefield.

The Kurir land robot was one of the first examples of this type. Its first successful combat test took place at the Avdiivka operational axis last spring. It is a product of popular creativity in the military industry: a small team of competent specialists, amateurs of military technology, designed and manufactured a small crawler platform with wide potential. The project was supported by military journalists Boris Rogin and Chingiz Dambiev.

The joint efforts resulted in the production of a workable robotic platform measuring 1400 x 1200 x 580 mm and weighing 250 kg. It is equipped with 4.4 kW electric motors, enabling it to travel at speeds of up to 35 km/h. It is equipped with electronic warfare devices. It can be used with a quadcopter drone that performs a signal relay function, which greatly increases the robot’s remote control distance.

The platform is equipped with a high-resolution camera and a thermal imaging device. The robot can be used as a platform for evacuating the wounded. If used as a combat platform, it can be equipped with Agi S-17 or Agi S-30 grenade launchers and 100 grenades, as well as a 12.7 mm heavy machine gun with 200 rounds or a 7.62 mm light machine gun with 600 rounds. The robot can be used as a platform for planting anti-tank mines, and it can also be used as a suicide robot.

The Kurir robot took part in the battles during the assault on the town of Avdiivka. During the liberation of the town of Berdychi in the Donbas region at the beginning of this summer, 8 ground robots of this type were used.

The “Courier” was presented at the “Army-2024” military-technical forum, where it caught the attention of representatives of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
