The driver controls it remotely, watching the road from a laptop screen

A video of the testing of the first unmanned "Bukhanka," developed for the needs of the Russian military, has appeared online. The footage shows developers testing gear shifting, and then the car moves without a driver behind the wheel.

Apparently, the driver, or rather the "Bukhanka" operator, controls it remotely, watching what is happening on a laptop screen.

The car is equipped with a remote control module that connects to the steering wheel and gaming pedals. Wi-Fi, a radio channel, 4G networks, and possibly Starlink are used for communication. This provides virtually unlimited control distance.

"Bukhanka" is the main workhorse for the military. It is used to provide logistics for the front lines, delivering ammunition, food, and medicine to soldiers.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the Russian army received new "Kornets" and "Krasnopol-M2".
