But it must be understood that the robot does not go, it is managed by the operator. Therefore, an important point is how far the operator can be from the platform. However, this can be improved and the radius will increase. However, it is important to understand how the enemy will act as opposed.
How actively it will affect FPV-Drones or anti-tank means such combat platforms. "There are pluses here that we spend one person who just carries this drone that" carries "one or even two wounded, and not use for each two, three or even four people per wounded" , - the colonel continues.
