Ratel X

Ratel 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.

Conflict Usage

Russia-Ukraine War: Side: UkraineRole: Heavy uncrewed logistics and support UGVlogistics reconnaissance
Used by Ukrainian units as part of the Russia-Ukraine War's expanding Ratel Robotics ground-robot family; the Ratel X is represented as a heavy logistics and special-purpose UGV rather than a strike weapon, with family-level reporting documenting Ratel robots in front-line logistics, evacuation, drone-launch, mine-laying, and attack roles.
