Russian troops from the Center Group of Forces are actively using unmanned systems for reconnaissance, combat operations and frontline logistics. The Russian Defense Ministry has released details of how drone crews and ground robotic platforms support military units in combat zones.

According to the ministry, UAV operators maintain round-the-clock surveillance, monitor enemy movements and identify areas where Ukrainian forces are concentrated.

Once a target is detected, reconnaissance teams determine its characteristics, conduct additional surveillance and assess the situation. After confirming the intelligence, strike units engage the identified targets with precision attacks.

The Defense Ministry attributed the effectiveness of these operations to close coordination between reconnaissance and strike drone teams, advanced targeting equipment and rapid intelligence sharing.

The use of unmanned aircraft also allows Russian units to expand their firepower while reducing risks to military personnel.

Alongside aerial drones, Russian forces are deploying ground-based robotic systems to support troops stationed at forward positions.

The Defense Ministry released footage showing the Omich-2 unmanned ground vehicle operating in the Dnepropetrovsk sector, where it is used to transport essential supplies to frontline units.

The Omich-2 can carry payloads weighing up to 500 kilograms. The platform supports both remote control and operation with direct operator involvement.

Russian troops use the robotic vehicle to deliver ammunition, medical supplies and food to positions near the front line.

According to the ministry, the Omich-2 transported approximately 400 kilograms of various supplies during one period of combat operations.

The platform’s capabilities extend beyond logistics. Russian forces also employ the Omich-2 to evacuate equipment from forward positions, allowing robotic systems to handle tasks that would otherwise require personnel to operate closer to the front line.
