Murakha is tracked #robotic platform to support front-line units working under challenging conditions, such as under enemy #artillery & in heavily mined terrain

Its larger size makes it one of Ukraine’s leading #UGVs in terms of load capacity. It can reportedly carry over 1/2 a ton across dozens of kilometers. It can also cross difficult terrain and shallow water.
