Russian fighters in one of the directions captured the TheMIS ground-based robotic platform, developed by the Estonian company Milrem Robotics. This is reported by Russian resources.
Deliveries of these ground-based drones to Ukraine began back in 2022, but so far no such platform has fallen into the hands of Russian fighters. The Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies (CST) was very interested in this platform, which announced in the fall of 2022 a guaranteed payment of remuneration to the fighters who captured it. At first, the amount was one million rubles, then it was raised to two.
It is unknown where the capture of the platform took place and under what circumstances, but the photo of the ground drone has already appeared on the Network. By the way, the CTA has confirmed its obligations and is ready to pay the entire amount to the fighters who seized the platform.
