Russian Armed Forces personnel are being trained at training grounds to control the "Courier" ground-based robotic systems in an environment of electronic warfare countermeasures by a potential enemy. This was reported by the press service of the Russian Ministry of Defense.
The department explained that operators of the Unmanned Systems Troops (a new branch of the Russian Armed Forces for the use of UAVs in performing various tasks) are undergoing advanced training under the guidance of experienced instructors.
