In Russia, developed a ground drone "Hedgehog" to destroy armored vehicles

This was announced by the executive director of the organization Andrey Bratenkov.

"We have created a ground drone "Hedgehog", which is capable of carrying a payload of up to 5 kg," TASS quoted him as saying.

Bratenkov said that the main purpose of the ground drone is to destroy the enemy's manpower in the trenches, as well as armored vehicles.

Earlier, specialists of the Russian company Armax created the Shield technology, which has the ability to completely hide thermal objects from unmanned aerial vehicles with a thermal imager.

In February, the special forces of the Russian Armed Forces during a special operation in Ukraine used a new Russian reconnaissance and strike system with small kamikaze drones.

The chief designer of the Kalashnikov concern, Sergey Urzhumtsev, reported that a batch of AK-12 assault rifles modified as a result of the use in the SVO was delivered to the combat zone.
