Ukrainian Defense Ministry codifies grenade-launching Zmiy Mini Strike ground robot

The new development by a domestic Ukrainian manufacturer was created in close collaboration with engineers from one of the Defense Forces' most effective combat brigades. The robotic platform was engineered based on insights gained from over four years of full-scale war and detailed analysis of ground robotic systems utilized on the battlefield.

Engineering teams implemented several structural design solutions that allow the platform to demonstrate high efficiency metrics during combat missions.

Zmiy Mini fits easily into the trunk of a minibus, an automobile trailer, or the bed of a pickup truck, requiring no specialized additional equipment for transport to frontline positions.

The ground platform comes equipped with a remote combat module featuring an Mk19 automatic grenade launcher, recognized for its high kinetic energy munitions, versatile shell options, and ability to deliver accurate indirect fire from concealed positions.

The robotic platform can also be reconfigured with alternative combat modules hosting various infantry weapons.
