The article reports that Ukrainian defense technology incubator Brave1 has developed a low-cost unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) equipped with two Kalashnikov assault rifles as its primary armament. According to Brave1, this “roving turret” has already seen combat use, with more than five Ukrainian units operationally testing the system. The incubator attributes the choice of the Kalashnikov to its widespread availability across Ukrainian military units, enabling rapid scaling of the drone on the front lines.

Footage provided by Brave1 shows the two Kalashnikov rifles mounted on a pan-and-tilt gimbal attached to a four-wheeled platform. The rifles appear to have been modified to receive remote fire commands, though no other significant alterations are visible. Notably, the current design still requires a soldier to manually reload the weapons, indicating that the turret is not fully autonomous. The development of this Kalashnikov turret underscores Ukraine’s focus on creating inexpensive, simple systems that can be quickly produced to address the country’s shortage of soldiers and the dangerous conditions on the front lines, which have become saturated with enemy drones.
