Three Ukrainian units get kit that turns any vehicle they already have into an uncrewed one
Three Ukrainian military units have received a device called Kaban that converts an existing vehicle into a remotely driven, uncrewed one. The system lets units repurpose vehicles they already possess instead of waiting for purpose-built unmanned platforms.
Three units of Ukraine's armed forces have received a new kit called Kaban that turns an ordinary vehicle into an uncrewed, remotely operated one.
How it works
The kit is fitted onto a vehicle a unit already has and allows it to be driven remotely, without anyone sitting inside. This means units do not need to wait for or acquire specially built unmanned vehicles — instead, they can convert equipment already at their disposal.
Context
Uncrewed and remotely operated systems have become an increasingly important part of Ukraine's defense approach, as they help reduce the direct exposure of personnel to danger on the battlefield. Solutions that allow existing vehicles to be converted rather than replaced could help speed up the deployment of uncrewed platforms at the front without adding pressure to procure new equipment.
The source does not provide further detail on which specific units received the kit, its technical specifications, or the scale of its planned future use.
