Units of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) in the Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions have received Ukrainian-made “Zmiy Firefighting” ground robotic systems, designed to operate in high-risk environments.
One of the systems has been delivered to an SES unit in Sloviansk, Donetsk region. During the handover, rescuers tested the system in action and evaluated its performance in conditions close to real operational scenarios.
The robotic platform is equipped with a remote firefighting module, enabling operations in areas where there is a risk of repeated shelling or ammunition detonation. Thanks to its mobility and maneuverability, the system can be deployed in hard-to-reach locations, reducing risks for emergency personnel.
In addition to firefighting tasks, the robotic system can also be used to transport equipment and cargo, as well as serve as a towing platform during emergency response operations.
Another “Zmiy Firefighting” ground robotic system has been delivered to SES units in the Dnipropetrovsk region. The platform is designed to transport equipment, support rescue operations, and operate in high-risk areas.
The system can be remotely controlled at distances of up to 3,000 meters, allowing operators to perform tasks from a safe distance. With a towing capacity of up to 700 kg, the platform can effectively transport equipment and assist in evacuation or cargo movement during rescue missions.
The delivery of the systems was made possible thanks to the support of charitable donors. The system for the Donetsk region was funded by the Serhiy Prytula Humanitarian Foundation and Vchasno Group as part of the Crisis Response project. The fundraising effort for the robotic system for SES units in the Dnipropetrovsk region was supported by the “baZa” auto service, part of the nationwide Avtomotiv auto service network.
The use of ground robotic systems helps increase the efficiency of rescue operations while reducing risks for emergency personnel working in hazardous environments.
