The Ukrainian military used a kamikaze ground robot to blow up a bridge in the Donetsk region, which the occupiers used for logistics near the occupied Bakhmut.

The video shows how a remote-controlled platform loaded with explosives reaches its target and is detonated, hitting the bridge structure.
The ground-based kamikaze robot Ratel S completed its target, said Minister of Digital Transformation Mikhail Fedorov.
Ratel S is a Ukrainian-made ground robot. The military uses it as a mobile warhead carrying anti-tank mines or a weapon module. It works remotely, which means the operator from a safe place can blow up an enemy tank or dugout.
As Militarny writes, one platform is capable of carrying two TM-62 anti-tank mines, weighing about 10 kg. It is controlled by an operator from a remote control within a radius of 1.5 km or 3 km with a repeater. On board the drone there is a camera for surveillance and direct control of the drone in the territory.
Weighing 60 kg, this drone is capable of carrying a payload weighing up to 35 kg. These can be mounted charges mounted on the top of the drone body. Its range reaches 10 km, and its range and guidance method are identical to the “sapper” version for mining.
In addition to light drones, the manufacturing company also produces heavy wheeled drones Ratel H, capable of transporting up to 1.4 thousand kg.
