Reference News reported on August 20According to a report on the British Daily Telegraph website on August 17, the "robot dogs" provided by the UK have been deployed on the battlefield in Ukraine. It is understood that this is the first time they have been used in actual combat.

Video footage released by the Kurt Forces - a specialist unit within Ukraine's 28th Mechanised Brigade - shows the robot dogs operating close to the front lines in eastern Ukraine's war-torn Donetsk region.

Recently, it was reported that British security company British Alliance provided more than 30 sets of the company's second-generation robot dog (BAD2) devices to Ukraine.

Equipped with remote sensing technology and thermal infrared cameras, the robot dogs operate on the ground and are able to explore trenches, buildings and dense vegetation that drones cannot access.

These robot dogs can move at a speed of 9 miles (about 14.4 kilometers) per hour for up to 5 hours and can carry more than 7 kilograms of ammunition, medical supplies or other items needed in battlefield hotspots.

To Russian surveillance drones, the dogs emit a heat signature similar to that of a rabbit, which is difficult to detect because they are covered in heat-resistant camouflage produced by a German company. If captured, the dogs' data can be deleted remotely.

Another big advantage of the robot dogs is their low cost: Each model costs between £3,400 and £6,800, depending on the modifications.
