Russian military personnel conducted tests of an experimental NRTK, given the working name "Malvina". During the tests, two 220-mm launcher blocks from the TOS-1A multiple launch rocket system were installed on board the tracked prototype.
Firing was carried out using standard thermobaric rounds. They are intended to destroy manpower, shelters, and targets in enclosed spaces. The experiment studied the use of heavy volumetric-blast weapons from light platforms. This is relevant in conditions of limited access to heavily armored vehicles.
Representatives of the developer emphasized that integrating TOS-1A artillery modules onto the robotic system required significant refinement of the design, stabilization systems, and fire control.
According to available data, the tests were conducted 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 hard-to-reach areas, as well as for rapid response to the changing situation on the battlefield.
