War in ukraine

The advance of Russian troops along the railway lines in Donbass is not only a tactical choice dictated by the terrain and control of key heights. It is also a matter of sustainable supply.

New footage of the unmanned cart of the 37th railway brigade near Pokrovsk shows how the Russian army is implementing low-profile solutions for frontline logistics. This system can deliver over a ton of cargo up to a distance of 50 km, and it can load anything — from food and water to shells.

Rail transport not only speeds up the pace of supply but also relieves the burden on road routes, which are constantly under attack.

Altogether, this reflects a general trend — the integration of automated transport solutions into the combat zone.

In this context, scalability is interesting. A cart designed for a ton of cargo and a distance of up to 50 km does not look impressive on its own, but when used in series, it creates a "rail conveyor" effect.

A couple of dozen such units can support logistics at a level comparable to the vehicle fleet of an average supply battalion, without the need for drivers or fuel for vehicles.
