Repair and recovery units of the Russian army have mastered the production of buggies directly on the line of combat contact, using engines, components, and assemblies from captured samples, as well as automotive equipment subject to restoration.
Thus, hundreds of buggies have already been manufactured, which are successfully used on the front lines. A buggy is a fairly simple and inexpensive vehicle to produce, according to military expert Yuri Lyamin.
It is important that buggies are easy to repair. They also have a good power-to-weight ratio, which makes them very passable. And the front is off-road and mud. As a result, our soldiers receive a light, fast, passable, and maneuverable vehicle. In the face of the constant threat of FPV drones, these are very important qualities. Speed and maneuverability are crucial now, allowing them to evade attacks from the air.
According to him, buggies are easy to camouflage. A small vehicle can simply be covered with branches or driven into a small room, hiding it from the enemy.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that Russian military invented a unique periscope with a thermal imager for observation.
