Russia deploys Diepiesza robots for frontline logistics and combat
The Russian army has acquired Diepiesza robots, as reported by the Russian corporation Rostec's press service. These land drones, produced by High Precision Complexes, are intended to assist the Russians in transporting various cargoes. It is unknown how many such drones, or in which version, have reached the Russian armed forces.
Diepiesza are land drones developed by the Russian research institute Signal and produced by High Precision Complexes. They were first unveiled during the International Military-Technical Forum Army 2024. The Russians developed the platform in two versions: tracked and wheeled.

According to the manufacturer, the tracked version of Diepiesza features high manoeuvrability, can reach speeds of up to 15 km/h, and can carry loads not exceeding 100 kg. Meanwhile, the wheeled version can move at speeds of about 30 km/h and carry loads of up to 200 kg. Both unmanned models are controlled using special joysticks and goggles that provide an FPV (First-Person View) perspective.
Diepiesza robots, depending on the version and purpose, have a length of 1.8 to 2 metres and a width not exceeding 1 metre, which depends, among other things, on the modules mounted on them. The Russian land drones are fully electric. On board, there are batteries of undisclosed capacity and controllers that distribute power among four electric motors.
Rostec emphasizes that Diepiesza robots are reliable assistants to soldiers on the front line. They can be used for the rapid delivery of ammunition, food, and fuel, as well as the evacuation of soldiers, and even mining. In addition, by adding a combat payload, they can be converted into deadly kamikaze drones used for attacking enemy positions, destroying fortifications, or military equipment.
