The Public Relations Department of the Russian Ministry of Defense announced an increase in the maximum payload that can be carried by the land robotic platform "Kourir" (postman).
The Russian Ministry of Defense website published a report that included recent statements by a soldier named "Dymok," in which he stated that the "Kurier" robotic land complex has a payload, according to the announced tactical and technical specifications, of about 200 kilograms.
He added that the platform can pull a single-axle trailer carrying an additional 200 kilograms, doubling its ability to transport supplies.
This unmanned tracked vehicle is distinguished by its ability to traverse rough terrain and travels at a suitable speed, according to published videos.
This remotely controlled platform is used by the 48th Combined Arms Army of the Dnieper Group, operating around the clock to transport ammunition, food, medicine and other essential supplies to the front lines, even under enemy fire.
It is worth noting that media outlets had previously reported that the robotic "Korer" platforms were adapted to work with 82mm automatic mortars and 107mm rocket launchers.
The "Courier" land robotic platform is a multi-tasking system, designed to operate in diverse combat environments, and is based on a tracked chassis with rapid adaptability via interchangeable modules, including trailers.
