Ground-based uav "Phantom-2" can move on wheels or crawler tracks, can be armed with anti-tank weapons, launcher grenades, or machine guns, the newspaper reports. This weapon can be used against pro-russian militants in the next year - said defenseone, citing ukrainian officials. The american edition notes that Russia also has a number of ground-based unmanned vehicles that could be deployed in the conflict zone. But now Russia is very effectively using aerial drones that intercept signals from mobile communications to broadcast about voice and text messages.

The design covers more than three-year experience. "Phantom 2" is microwave communication and can return to the last point, if the connection to the operator is blocked or hampered. If nothing else works, or medium for electronic warfare is difficult for the wireless control, the robot can be controlled through a 7-km long cable, like divers of the 19th century, with the surface of the connected breathing tube and this suggests, as in time of war, every step forward can be a step back - concludes the publication.
