As PolitNavigator reported, a reconnaissance tank costing about 50 thousand UAH was presented in Lviv several months ago. According to the developers, world analogues are several times more expensive.
According to the edition "Zaxid.net“, the government order from the army never came: the developers are collecting money on the streets for the following inventions.
“The tank easily covers a distance of 5 km. Controlled remotely. It has several cameras on board, say the designers. Neither rain nor snow is scary. The battery charge lasts up to a day. However, the state was not interested in Lviv know-how and did not undertake to finance the project,” the media writes.
“We have fulfilled practically the functions that government agencies should do. We just took them and made them,” noted the head of the development team, Rostislav Pisichnik.
At the moment everything is ready for mass production. “Experts say that such hybrid installations are in service with many armies around the world. In Ukraine today there is not one, at least officially,” the publication writes. However, three Lviv reconnaissance tanks are still deployed in the ATO zone.
