“Ukrainian Armour” handed over the AGEMA robotic system to the special division of the Ukraine Ministry of Defence Intelligence “Kraken” on a free-of-charge basis to perform combat missions.

“The need for such technical units is very high because it minimises human risks on the battlefield. With the help of the robotic system, we can, first of all, supply ammunition to the positions and evacuate the wounded in conditions where it is impossible to use armoured vehicles. Therefore, such a robot will save lives and help destroy the enemy,” said surely a fighter with a call sign “Lom” of the “Kraken” special forces division.

According to Vladyslav Belbas, CEO of “Ukrainian Armour”, the company hopes to receive information from the military on how the system has performed in combat and how it should be optimised to be as effective as possible.

“Unmanned systems play a very important role in modern warfare. And this trend was evident after the war in Azerbaijan. Back in 2021, “Ukrainian Armor” signed an agreement with “Milanion” from the United Arab Emirates to jointly produce the AGEMA robotic system in Ukraine. Unfortunately, the war prevented these plans,” he said.

Belbas expressed hope that, having received information about the use in combat conditions, the company will be able to quickly modify AGEMA in accordance with the request of the military and establish supplies to the Ukrainian Defence Forces.

AGEMA is a universal platform that can be fitted with a variety of weapons. It is designed to carry out various missions: logistics support, reconnaissance, evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield, launching its own UAVs or fighting enemy drones, providing cellular communications, and performing other humanitarian functions. The system has amphibious capabilities and is adapted for extreme cross-country ability.

The AGEMA platform weighs 602 kilograms and is powered by a 40 horsepower internal combustion engine. This platform can take up to 622 kilograms of load when moving on land, up to 330 kilograms when moving on water, or tow a load of up to 544 kilograms. It can travel at a speed of up to 29 km/h on land and up to 5 km/h on water.

The system is controlled remotely and can be programmed to perform autonomous tasks. It has the ability to follow soldiers at a certain distance or lead a group of soldiers.

The developer of this platform is “Milanion” from the United Arab Emirates, and the supplier is “Ukrainian Armour”.
