Ukrainian military forces will receive a new “Muraha” — tracked robotic complex designed for harsh front-line conditions
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have expanded their arsenal with the modern and high-tech unmanned ground system "Muraha." Ukrainian defense industry developers successfully created this multifunctional robotic system, which has already received official approval and authorization for operation from the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. This will enable Ukrainian defenders to operate more effectively on the most challenging sections of the front, enhancing their operational safety and efficiency. "Muraha" is a tracked robotic complex specifically developed to support infantry and reduce risks during combat missions in the harshest environments. Its main goal is to provide security and stability for units under enemy fire, as well as to quickly cross minefields and navigate difficult terrain. Technically, this machine is among the most powerful in its class, capable of carrying over half a ton of cargo for dozens of kilometers. According to official representatives of the Main Directorate of Military Supply Support of the Ministry of Defense, "Muraha" features multiple control channels, allowing it to operate in radio-electronic warfare zones, including conditions involving enemy EW (Electronic Warfare) devices. This is a significant step forward in the development of Ukrainian military technologies, as the ability to operate safely in complex environments is critically important for the success of modern combat operations. The "Muraha" system possesses high mobility characteristics, enabling it to overcome obstacles, ascend difficult terrain, and cross small water barriers such as fords. This makes it indispensable in battles on territories with mine-laden areas or poor road networks. At the same time, considering its size and functional capabilities, this complex can transport heavy loads—more than half a ton—and support combat operations for extended periods without requiring constant human presence. It is worth noting that, despite their high technological potential, ground robotic systems currently cannot fully replace infantry on the battlefield. Volunteer and project leader for the technological enhancement of Ukraine’s security and defense forces, Maria Berlinaska, emphasized this. She pointed out that the role of such systems will gradually increase and become an integral part of modern warfare tactics. "Will ground robotic complexes replace infantry by 2025? Currently — no. This is an idealized dream that many wish to believe in—that we can fully replace human soldiers with drones and robots. But reality is more complex. Despite modern advances, human participation will remain essential. However, over time, the role of autonomous systems will grow — including maritime, aerial, and ground robots operating within a unified command system for military operations," Berlinaska noted. Overall, the deployment of the "Muraha" complex represents an important step forward in the development of Ukrainian defense industry and technological support for the army. It demonstrates Ukraine’s commitment not only to actively equipping itself with modern weaponry but also to creating its own innovative solutions capable of countering the most challenging aspects of warfare. Future developments could further enhance such systems, helping the Ukrainian Armed Forces remain among the most effective and best-equipped in the region.
