Ukraine's Ministry of Defense has codified the new Tanchik Droid 12.7 ground robot. The ministry said the robot is designed for remote battlefield observation, reconnaissance, and destruction of enemy infantry and unarmored or lightly armored vehicles. Operators control it from a safe shelter using a secure communication channel.
The Tanchik joins Ukraine's rapid codification of ground robots. Ukraine has codified 67 new ground robot models in the first half of 2026 alone. The Defense Forces have received 1,028 ground robotic complexes valued at $11.7 million through the DOT-Chain Defense marketplace. Ukraine plans to contract 25,000 more ground robots by the end of H1 2026 and 50,000 units by year-end, with the strategic goal of moving all frontline logistics onto robots. The developer designed the Tanchik Droid 12.7 specifically for high-intensity warfare, drawing on real combat experience with domestic and foreign ground robots. The main task, per the ministry, is to preserve soldiers' lives on the first line by taking over the most dangerous missions in high-fire-density areas.
Ukrainian forces captured a Russian position for the first time using only drones and ground robots in April 2026.
In the three months preceding that operation, Ukrainian ground robots completed more than 22,000 missions across systems including Ratel, Termit, Ardal, Rys, Zmii, Protector, and Volya.
Ukrainian brigades now use ground robots to move ammunition, fuel, food, drone batteries, and blood for transfusions through Russian "kill zones" reaching up to 20 kilometers deep on the most intense sectors. Ukraine's Defense Ministry adviser Serhii "Flash" Beskrestnov flagged in May 2026 that ground robots operate in a much more challenging communication environment than aerial drones.
Terrain, urban infrastructure, tree lines, and cover constantly interfere with the control signal, and a robot that loses its link drops out of the mission.
The DOT-Chain Defense marketplace, built by the Defense Procurement Agency, lets combat units choose systems and quantities themselves while the agency handles contracts, payments, and logistics.
That has cut delivery from months to weeks. Ukraine, suffering for months from manpower crises and uncertain backing from the United States, has undergone a remarkable evolution. Large parts of its war effort are now unmanned, the robots, drones, and remotely piloted tanks giving it a sudden, albeit fragile, edge over a lumbering and strained Russian invader. In April, President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed the first capture of a Russian position purely by robots and drones and added that since January unmanned machines had conducted 22,000 missions. Survival is the mother of invention, under the orange glow of computer processor fans and subtle overhead lighting. The unit here has learned from Russian prisoners of war that their enemy calls these robots – each carrying a huge payload of explosive on a four-wheel chassis – “silent death.” They can only hear their approach when they are 10 meters away – well within their blast radius. Ukraine’s policy now is to kill or injure 35,000 Russians a month, something they have achieved this year, the goal being to force the Kremlin into uncomfortable and unpopular recruitment from the urban center and the middle classes.
