Yevkurov says army may form units of uncrewed tanks
Uncrewed tanks were used during the Center-2026 exercises at the Chebarkulsky training ground.
General Yevkurov said the vehicles can be controlled, aimed and fired without a crew inside.
He said they can hit enemy positions as if a crew were aboard.
The exercises showed how these vehicles can operate in a military setting.
Yevkurov did not rule out forming uncrewed tank units in the army.
That leaves open the possibility that the army could organize such vehicles into units, though no plans or timetable were given.
