Belarusian developers from the Vitebsk design bureau "Display" have developed a whole line of ground-based robots "Adunok" on a tracked track for the Belarusian security forces. This is reported by the State Military-Industrial Committee of Belarus.
According to the publication, the line includes four robotic platforms that vary in weight, size and load capacity: Adunok-M120; Adunok-M200; Adunok-M250; Adunok-M700. The numbers after the letter "M" indicate the load capacity of the platform. The most "senior" model is capable of carrying up to 700 kg of payload.
All platforms have a tracked chassis, this type of propulsion was chosen for better cross-country ability at the expense of the speed developed by wheeled variants. Platforms feel confident off-road, overcoming ascents and descents, as well as difficult terrain. The motor is electric, which eliminates loud noise while driving. All platforms are universal, they can be used as weapons carriers, as well as for delivering ammunition or evacuating the wounded.

Various combat modules with 7.62 mm and 12.7 mm machine guns, as well as grenade launchers, including automatic ones, have been developed and adapted for the platforms. The platforms are controlled via a secure radio channel, and the communication range in an open area reaches 10 km.
At the moment, the entire line of Adunok platforms is undergoing trial operation in various law enforcement agencies of the Republic of Belarus, they have already participated in exercises, including joint exercises with the Russian Armed Forces. The Ministry of Defense of Belarus plans to adopt the Adunok robotic ground platforms for the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus.
