What is UGV in AFU: ground robotic delivery complexes
Ground robotic complexes in AFU. Updated: October 2026.
UGV (Ground Robotic Complexes) in AFU are unmanned ground vehicles that deliver ammunition, food, water, and medical supplies to positions and evacuate the wounded. Every such flight is a crew that does not need to risk being under fire. Details below.
What ground robotic complexes do
UGV work in the front-line logistics chain: they deliver cargo to the position and back, evacuate the wounded, and may be involved in demining. Losing a car is only an expense: the crew does not come under fire, so an unmanned taxi saves lives.
- delivery of ammunition, food, water, medicine to the position;
- evacuation of the wounded from open positions;
- lift for engineering works and demining;
- flights at night — without light and noise.
How the logistics are organized for the position
Front-line logistics is a complex link: from the rear to a point near the line, cars are taken, further to the position - UGV or heavy drones to reduce the risk area for people. Together with ground work, goods are delivered by air: heavy drone "Vampire".
