    I believe it just drops them. Good for remotely mining approaches.

      For creating actual mine fields that’s way too slow, but driving that thing towards approaching tank could be something. That’s small enough to remain hidden from the tank crew view and even if it wouldn’t survive back it’s still an RC car well spent if you can disable a tank (or potentially more by blocking the road from others).

        Perhaps also for use where an enemy triggered a mine in an existing mine field, but the vehicle survived and left. Replacing just a handful of mines with this robot would refill that gap and keep the UA defenders out of harms way to do so.

          Possible, but as UA is currently on the offence I think they concentrate more on clearing mine fields instead of planting them.

            Thats certainly true on the south and east, but not so true on the north where they’re either holding the borders with Russia or actively defending against an offensive near Kupiansk.

            I think they concentrate more on clearing mine fields instead of planting them.

            Well yes, but Ukraine can do both at once. The best evidence is this thread where there is a video of a robot laying mines that we’re watching.
