The tracked robot "Nerekhta-E" with a machine gun, automatic grenade launcher, or anti-tank missiles has completed a full cycle of state tests. Rosoboronexport has begun promoting the complex to foreign markets, Rostec state corporation announced. The machine was developed and is produced by the V. A. Degtyarev Plant.

The robot is equipped with an armored hull and a hybrid power plant. It develops speeds of up to 20 km/h, can move continuously for up to four hours, and operate in surveillance mode for up to 20 hours. The total weight of the basic complex is 2100 kg, and with a transport module, it is 2700 kg.

For fire support, a module with a 12.7-mm Kord machine gun and a 30-mm AG-30M automatic grenade launcher is provided. It includes a ballistic computer, weapon stabilizer, and ammunition consumption control system. Another configuration provides four guides for Kornet and Bulat anti-tank missiles. The complex can also receive a reconnaissance module or a cargo platform with a carrying capacity of up to 1000 kg.

The remotely controlled vehicle is proposed for use in reconnaissance, surveillance, object protection, delivery of ammunition and other cargo, as well as evacuation of the wounded. The hybrid power plant allows for an electric driving mode, which, according to the developer, reduces the noise level of the complex's operation.

Rostec calls "Nerekhta-E" the first Russian ground combat robot to have completed a full cycle of state tests. According to Alexander Mikheev, head of Rosoboronexport, the promotion of the complex abroad will take into account the priority of fulfilling orders from the Russian Ministry of Defence.
