- These tactics help slower wheeled robots bypass difficult terrain and Russian defenses, enabling amphibious assaults.
- The approach aims to offset Russia's manpower advantage and reduce risk to Ukrainian soldiers.
- A Russian Telegram channel showed a Ukrainian hexacopter deploying an ARK-1 robot with anti-tank mines toward Russian positions.
- The tactic may improve robot survivability by evading aerial surveillance and speeding up target approach.
