ST. PETERSBURG, June 11. /TASS/. Russia’s tech firm Katyusha unveiled ground robotic vehicles of the same name at the Fleet 2026 International Maritime Defense Show in Kronstadt (St. Petersburg), a TASS correspondent reported from the scene.
Katyusha unmanned ground platforms are already supplied to Russian troops in the special military operation area in Ukraine, a company representative told TASS.
"There is feedback and our products are constantly upgraded. Here [at the Fleet 2026 naval show], we are for the first time demonstrating equipment for combat engineers, i.e. for mine clearance and for cargo delivery," he said.
A tracked cart weighs 177 kg and can transport up to 200 kg of cargo to a distance of 20 km. It is also equipped with additional fiber-optics for communications. Its batteries last for 6-7 hours of operation, he specified.
The company expects to pass all of the Russian Defense Ministry’s tests by the end of summer. The robotic vehicle can be serial-produced in an amount of up to 1,000 platforms a month.
