The 3rd Army Corps, under the command of Andriy Biletsky, deployed ground robots from heavy drones during Operation Vivaldi. Such fully robotic attacks are becoming a new reality of combat, Business Insider reports.
According to the publication, drones delivered robots loaded with explosives approximately 10 kilometers behind Russian positions. This allowed them to attack from an unexpected direction, avoiding the dangerous task of crossing the front line.
Heavy bomber drones had carried the armed robots roughly six miles deep into Russian territory and dropped them there as part of Operation Vivaldi, an assault that is still unfolding in eastern Ukraine and has already seen Kyiv reclaim large swaths of territory from Moscow.
The tactic is called "Gryphon" and is named after a soldier who went missing in action near Andriivka, said Mykola Zinkevych, commander of NC13, the world's first strike uncrewed ground vehicle unit. Rather than driving explosive-laden robots across the front line, heavy drones dropped the bots in the Russian rear, creating an unexpected new direction of attack. NC13, a unit within the Third Assault Brigade of the Third Army Corps, has played a leading role in Operation Vivaldi. Zinkevych, who goes by the call sign "Makar," spoke to Business Insider through a translator this week to discuss his unit's participation.
Traditional airborne assaults have been very rare in this conflict as dense air-defense networks threaten air operations. Operation Vivaldi, however, has demonstrated the potential for entirely uncrewed airborne assaults. Rather than risking helicopters, transport aircraft, or paratroopers, drones can drop robots behind enemy lines, and Ukraine's booming defense industry is working on solutions to advance this concept, as are military units.
Brave1, Ukraine's state-backed innovation platform, said several days after the Third Army Corps' airborne assault reveal that another combat unit, the "Alter Ego" robot battalion of the 93rd Mechanized Brigade, had developed and deployed similar technology.
The unit engineered a specialized robot called "Desantnyk," as well as a mechanism that allows its heavy bomber drones to carry and drop the robot deep behind the front lines. It has already been used to attack Russian positions, Brave1 said, adding that the entire process, from initial concept to combat deployment, took just 10 days.
Without an off-the-shelf robot on the market that bomber drones could readily carry and drop, especially at long ranges, the Alter Ego unit could only develop one itself, a Brave1 representative told Business Insider, relaying information from the unit. "This is an asymmetrical solution that the enemy does not expect — delivering mobility and the capability to conduct operations far behind enemy lines," the representative said.
From the robot's combat experience, Alter Ego now understands that the UGVs must balance mobility, range, and payload, while also maintaining resilient communications with operators. Brave1 said it helped the unit find a manufacturer so they could turn the prototype into serial production.
