The commander of the UGV<\/a> unit NC13, call-sign Makar, says he goes to the position not with a weapon but with a keyboard, which symbolises the changing character of modern warfare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Third Separate Assault Brigade is considered the most technologically advanced in the Armed Forces of Ukraine. In a new documentary film<\/a>, fighters of the Third Assault tell about the work of the UGV unit and show unique combat footage. Defender Media recounts the most interesting parts of the film.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UGVs as \u201ccombat Glovo\u201d<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

UGVs have become a key element of the brigade\u2019s combat operations and logistics. Eighty per cent of the battalion\u2019s logistics are carried out exclusively using unmanned ground vehicles. This makes it possible not to risk the lives of infantry, reduces personnel losses during logistics tasks, increases the effectiveness of defensive structures and speeds up their construction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first practical use of UGVs in the brigade took place during heavy fighting for Orlivka, where the enemy actively controlled all logistics routes. Fighters with the call-signs Chimera and Zador were the first to successfully establish this process, and it was from those battles that the entire UGV development phase and creation of the relevant unit began.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UGVs perform the role of \u201ccourier delivery on the battlefield\u201d, like Glovo, taking orders from infantry for everything necessary to hold the defensive line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
