Mykolaiv Territorial Defense troops test Wolly remote fire control module

Territorial Defense servicemen in Mykolaiv are testing the Wolly remotely controlled combat module, which allows a soldier to remain at a significant distance from the firing position.

This is according to an Ukrinform publication Army Robotization: How Modern Land Warfare Is Changing.

“At the moment, we are testing and zeroing the Wolly combat module, which can be installed either on a ground robotic platform or directly on a position using a tripod. It includes the weapon itself and a surveillance camera. It can be controlled remotely via a cable,” said Valentyn, a serviceman of the 1st Battalion of Unmanned Systems of the 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade, callsign Gruzyn.

He added that this allows a soldier to fire while staying in cover at a considerable distance from the line of contact.

The unit is also operating a ground robotic system similar to TerMIT, featuring a tracked base and a modular design. This allows different types of weapons to be mounted on it, including a Browning machine gun. The robot is capable of covering long distances and returning back.

As reported, servicemen of the 123rd Territorial Defense Brigade are adapting ground robotic systems to meet real battlefield needs.
