Sting (minefield robot)

2024: Product Announcement

In August 2024, it became known that a mini-robot "Sting" was developed in Russia, capable of installing "smart" minefields, characterized by the unique ability to recognize and miss their own armored vehicles, while creating obstacles for enemy forces. This innovative product was presented by Alexander Gavrilov, CEO of the Gumich development company.

According to Alexander Gavrilov, the Sting robot is a small robotic platform with four driving wheels and a mine dump system. The dimensions of the device are only 50 by 50 cm, which makes it compact and maneuverable. The main task of the Zhalo robot is to install anti-tank mines TM-62 on the battlefield. What distinguishes this robot from traditional mining methods is the ability to interact with other devices and the ability to "smart" travel before passing their own equipment, after which the robots return to their original positions to restore the minefield.

Mini-robots "Sting" can work in coordination with each other: at the same time, up to 200 such devices can operate on the field, which allows you to quickly and effectively organize protective lines. Thanks to the use of advanced technologies, the system allows you to provide a high degree of protection against enemy attacks, while minimizing risks for your military units.

The Zhalo project was developed by Gumich as part of a strategy to increase Russia's defense capability. The mini robot is equipped with a mine reset system that allows the mine to be automatically placed in a pre-programmed place. This makes the Sting an extremely effective tool for combat operations, where efficiency and accuracy are important.^[1]
