Am 1456. Tag der groß angelegten Invasion ist die Sonne über Kiew untergegangen. Laut „Hornet“ retten UGVs jede Woche etwa dreizehn Soldaten das Leben, während sie gleichzeitig Nachschub in schwer zugängliche Gebiete bringen.

Under a night sky patrolled by enemy drones, a box on a chassis rolls forward. The unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) “Tarhan” carries nearly 200 kilograms (about 440 pounds) of food and ammunition to front-line positions. No soldiers walk beside it, making the scene feel almost unreal. But it’s still people who make this “science fiction” happen on the battlefield. Dozens of kilometers away, an operator steers the vehicle remotely through a camera feed. Unmanned ground systems have taken on logistics missions inside the “kill zone” – areas where movement is too dangerous for troops because of constant drone threats. Frontliner reporters followed the full cycle of robotic logistics, from the workshop where vehicle production never stops to their deployment on a combat resupply mission.
