Russian military personnel praised the RTC "Omich" specifically for its ability to move confidently where conventional vehicles cannot pass. The system is also successfully used to evacuate the wounded in areas with intense enemy fire, where the approach of ordinary vehicles is impossible.
The vehicle is very good; it is built on a tracked chassis, and there are no obstacles for it.
The fighters noted its main advantages: outstanding mobility across difficult terrain and the ability to deliver various cargoes, including ammunition.
The tracked unmanned RTC "Omich" was developed at the Omsk Armored Engineering Institute. The vehicle is equipped with mine and fragmentation protection. Control is possible both on board and remotely.
The platform's universal design makes it possible to view it as a dual-use tool: useful both in the civilian sphere (monitoring, environmental cleanup, rescue operations) and for the defense sector (reconnaissance, cargo delivery to hard-to-reach areas).
Some characteristics of the system:
- capable of carrying 350–500 kg of cargo on board, and up to 1 ton when towing
- equipped with protection against fragments and mines
- range: more than 30 km
- can be controlled either directly by the operator or remotely from a safe distance
- provisions are made for the installation of machine guns, the AGS-17 automatic grenade launcher, a light flamethrower system based on the RPO "Shmel", as well as various special equipment.
