As part of its own military assistance for Ukraine, the German government is funding the production and delivery of 2,000 TerMIT unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The contract was awarded to Quantum Tencore Industries (QTI), a German-Ukrainian joint venture recently announced as part of the \u201cBuild with Ukraine\u201d initiative, which brings the German drone specialist Quantum Systems and the Ukrainian company Tencore \u2013 which specialises in unmanned ground vehicles \u2013 together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Quantum Systems, the production is to be carried out in collaboration with an established industrial partner in Germany. This comes with the advantage of, on the one hand, utilising existing production capacities and, on the other hand, being able to ramp up series production at short notice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the 2,000 TerMIT UGVs manufactured in Germany, the Ukrainian Armed Forces will receive unmanned ground vehicles that have already been tested, are widely established and are highly valued within the next 12 months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thousands of missions have already been carried out by a wide variety of users across Ukraine \u2013 including the well-known 3rd Assault Brigade, the Kraken Operations Unit of the HUR MO and around 50 other users \u2013 using the more than 3,000 UGVs delivered to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The TerMIT can be used for a wide variety of mission profiles. For example, the UGVs can be deployed for casualty evacuation (CASEVAC), engineering tasks \u2013 there are modules for laying barbed wire and mines \u2013 or to support logistics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, there are three options for active participation in combat. The unmanned ground vehicle is either equipped with the \u201cBurya\u201d or \u201cKhyzhak\u201d remote-controlled weapon stations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first carries the heavy machine gun Browning M2 or the Mk 19 grenade launcher. The second is fitted with a thermal imaging sight and a laser rangefinder, and fires 7.62 mm calibre ammunition either at ground or aerial targets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In particular, the use of unmanned ground vehicles in logistics operations at the front is becoming increasingly important. To minimise casualties, the Ukrainian Ministry of Defence has made it a priority to switch logistics operations at the front to unmanned ground vehicles as much as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
