Pretty cool. Does make me wonder functionally if the robot part actually increases the odds of success, or if it just means fewer people put at risk. Because it both came under fire and hit a mine. But maybe because it’s smaller it was less likely to be detected than a crewed vehicle? Maybe it would have been hit more or more fatally if it was larger?
