It is noted that these are compact, durable and maneuverable land drones on four "paws", controlled by operators.

Working dogs equipped with a video camera scout the surroundings, find booby traps, calculate the movement of units The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which significantly reduces the risk for scouts of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
"We were concerned about the frequent reports of losses at the front due to enemy drones. Therefore, we discussed the possibilities of a safer solution for exploration tasks in high-risk areas.… The results are impressive. Our work dogs perform reconnaissance tasks on the front line, reducing the risk to human soldiers. This not only increases the effectiveness of combat operations, but also strengthens the morale of the army," said the head of the Brit Alliance, quoted by the ZeRada telegram channel.
Now the APU has more than 30 robot dogs at the front. Thanks to the anti-thermal camouflage from the German company Concamo, they are almost impossible to detect. According to Bild, robops silently move around the battlefield at speeds up to 15 km/h and operate in the enemy's location within a radius of 3.5 km for a maximum of 5 hours. They cost, depending on the modification, from € 4 thousand to € 8 thousand.
"Nothing compared to human life," emphasizes Bild.
