Soldiers from the engineers team of the Unmanned Ground Aerials Battalion (93rd Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces) prepare land drones for missions at their operations area near the front line of Russiaâs war against Ukraine in the Donetsk region. Once robots arrive to the Battalion, the engineer team is responsible for repairing, programming (camera and software installation), and modifying each land drone for specific tasks on the front line of the war. Due to the heightened danger of air strikes and FPV drone attacks on soldiers, medics and logistics teams, Ukraine minimizes loss of life by utilizing land drones that can travel 30 kilometers away to conduct multiple tasks, including supply delivery, medical evacuation, mine detection and clearing, reconnaissance, and even pushing invading forces back using land drones armed with weapons.
