The Russian military has tested an experimental NRTK, codenamed "Malvina". During the tests, two 220-mm guide blocks from the TOS-1A multiple launch rocket system were installed on board the tracked prototype.
The firing was carried out with standard thermobaric projectiles. They are designed to destroy manpower, shelters and objects in enclosed spaces. The experiment explored the use of heavy volumetric explosion weapons from light platforms. This is relevant in conditions of limited access to reinforced armored vehicles.
Representatives of the developer emphasized that the integration of TOS-1A artillery modules on the robotic complex required significant refinement of the design, stabilization systems and fire control.
The tests, according to reports, were carried out as part of a program to expand the tactical capabilities of unmanned systems. The military is considering such solutions as a potential tool for providing fire support in remote areas, as well as for responding quickly to changing situations on the battlefield.
