Support EquipmentZmiy Droid 12.7Armored unmanned ground combat systemZmiy Droid 12.7 is a Ukrainian armored unmanned ground combat system built around the Zmiy mobility platform, DevDroid's Wolly 12.7 remote weapon station, and Droid Box control software. It is designed for reconnaissance, fire support, and remote engagement in the Russia-Ukraine War while reducing exposure of infantry to FPV drones, artillery, and mine threats.

Support EquipmentRatel SUncrewed ground vehicle / kamikaze and remote-mining robotRatel S is a Ukrainian uncrewed ground vehicle built for remote mining, explosive delivery, observation, and short-range ground attack missions. Developed in Ukraine's wartime robotics ecosystem and publicized through the Brave1 defense-tech cluster, it gives Ukrainian operators a small wheeled platform that can move an explosive or mine payload toward Russian positions while reducing direct exposure for soldiers.

Support EquipmentRatel XSix-wheeled uncrewed logistics platformRatel X is a Ukrainian six-wheeled uncrewed ground platform built by Ratel Robotics for heavy logistics, reconnaissance support, and carrying compatible mission equipment. It is not a primary weapon system; its catalog role is as an enabling platform that can move payloads, host observation equipment, and reduce soldiers' exposure in high-risk areas.

Support EquipmentDroid TW 12.7Unmanned ground vehicleDroid TW 12.7 is a Ukrainian reconnaissance and strike unmanned ground vehicle built by DevDroid around a tracked chassis, a 12.7 mm combat module, and remote control for frontline use in the Russia-Ukraine War.

Support EquipmentNurse TBCompact uncrewed ground logistics vehicleNurse TB is a compact Ukrainian robotic logistics platform from Ratel Robotics for moving cargo, ammunition, or other payloads over exposed ground. It is smaller than the Ratel H and Ratel M logistics vehicles, with a 150 kg working payload class, radio and fiber-optic application ranges, and replaceable batteries for short-range support tasks.

Support EquipmentRATEL DEMINERRemote-controlled robotic demining complexRATEL DEMINER is a Ukrainian remote-controlled demining complex built on the Ratel M logistics and evacuation UGV. It pairs a wheeled robotic platform with a rotary mine trawl, daylight camera, ground control station, repeater, and charging equipment so operators can neutralize or trigger anti-personnel mines from a standoff distance.
