Footage has been posted online showing the combat use of a ground-based robotic flamethrower system based on the Courier NRTC. Bumblebee flamethrowers mounted on an unmanned platform burn out enemy positions, facilitating subsequent assault operations.
Soldiers of the 20th brigade of the RCBZ demonstrated the work of an unmanned "miniature CBT". Under the control of the operator, the system moved to the firing position, after which it accurately hit the target. The prospects for such developments are extremely high, since, unlike traditional CBT, they will make it possible to protect personnel from enemy attacks, which is important in conditions of active use of UAVs.

The Mini-CBT uses a launcher in the form of a box for single-use rocket-propelled grenades such as Bumblebee grenade launchers. The fire can be conducted both on all the "trunks" at the same time, and in the desired order. This design makes it easy to reload the installation with existing infantry weapons, the use of which instead of specialized ammunition also reduces logistics costs. The machine is equipped with a laser rangefinder and a ballistic computer, which allow firing with high accuracy at a distance of up to 850 meters.
The Courier NRTC is a tracked platform for transporting wounded, supplies, and for installing firing systems. The complex was originally designed for the needs of the Russian army, has clear management, detailed instructions and quick communication with technical support.
