Russian army deploys new Diepiesza robots for battlefield support
The Russian army has acquired Diepiesza robots, as reported by the Russian corporation Rostec's press service. These land unmanned vehicles, produced by High Precision Systems, are intended to assist in transporting various loads. It is unknown how many unmanned vehicles have been delivered to the Russian armed forces or in which versions they have been deployed.
The Diepiesza robots, developed by the Russian research institute Signal and produced by High Precision Systems, are land unmanned vehicles first unveiled during the International Military-Technical Forum Army 2024. The platform has been developed in two versions: tracked and wheeled.

According to the manufacturer, the tracked version of Diepiesza features high maneuverability and can reach speeds of up to 9 mph while carrying loads weighing up to 220 lbs. Meanwhile, the wheeled version can move at speeds of about 19 mph and carry loads of up to 440 lbs. Both models are controlled using special joysticks and goggles that provide a first-person view (FPV).
Depending on the version and purpose, Diepiesza robots have a length ranging from approximately 5.9 to 6.6 feet and a width not exceeding 3.3 feet, influenced by the modules mounted on them. These unmanned Russian land vehicles are fully electric, with batteries of undisclosed capacity and controllers that distribute power among four electric motors.
Rostec emphasizes that Diepiesza robots serve as reliable assistants for soldiers on the front line. They can be used to rapidly deliver ammunition, food, and fuel, evacuate soldiers, and even mine. Additionally, by adding a combat payload, they can be transformed into dangerous kamikaze drones for attacking enemy positions, destroying fortifications, or destroying military equipment.
