Ukraine deploys Wolly combat module with machine guns and advanced targeting
Ukraine’s Defense Ministry has approved and authorized the deployment of the domestically produced remotely controlled combat module, Wolly, for use by the country’s Defense Forces, the ministry announced on its Telegram channel on Dec. 21.
The Wolly module is equipped with:
A 7.62 mm or 12.7 mm machine gun,
An ammunition supply system with automatic feeding,
A thermal imaging camera,
An automated system for target detection, recognition, and tracking.
According to the Defense Ministry, Wolly is relatively lightweight, allowing a single soldier to transport it to its installation site. Its battery can operate for several days without needing a recharge.
"Ukrainian engineers incorporated advanced technological solutions into the combat module based on requests from troops and actual combat experience of Ukrainian defenders. Several suggestions regarding control methods and the automation of specific operational processes were taken into account," Deputy Defense Minister Dmytro Klymenkov stated.
Earlier, in November, the Defense Ministry also approved the use of Tavria, a remote-controlled turret equipped with dual machine guns.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
