The State Military-Industrial Committee of Belarus has shown tests of the Volat V1 lightly armored vehicle (LAV) produced by the Minsk Wheel Tractor Plant under remote control. The vehicle successfully executed the operator's commands.
The remotely controlled vehicle based on the MZKT-490100-010 LAV (Volat V1) is a system consisting of the LAV itself, equipped with modified devices and systems, as well as a control panel through which the operator sets the vehicle's movement parameters.

The remote control system includes:
- control unit with transceiver
- fuel supply system to the internal combustion engine
