Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhailo Fedorov has announced that a Ukrainian ground-based robotic platform Ratel S has undergone successful field testing and has been launched into serial production – the development that was designed by Ukrainian engineers from Brave1 military technology cluster.
“Here is a ????????-made kamikaze robot that’ll soon rock Russians. Ratel S carries anti-tank mines & combat module. So, the operator can blow up enemie‘s equipment from a safe location. Ratel S already passed field tests & put into mass production. One more tech supported by @BRAVE1ua,” he wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter.

According to Defence Blog, a Ratel S ground robot is capable of carrying anti-tank mines and a combat module to destroy Russian military equipment for 2 hours without recharging.
This innovation allows operators to remotely detonate enemy tanks or fortifications from a safe distance, ensuring the safety of military personnel.
