“The overall goal of such tests is to check how AGEMA can work in various conditions at the front, and based on the military’s findings, make a decision whether this platform can be modified at facilities in Ukraine, or whether it will be necessary to ask partners to carry out these modifications,” it says in the message.
Various types of weapons can be installed on the platform, but so far Ukrainian fighters are testing it without weapons. Later, the military may begin testing AGEMA with weapons. So, you can install a machine gun and other anti-personnel weapons on it, or try to install anti-tank systems.
Characteristics of the AGEMA platform
The weight of AGEMA is 602 kilograms, the power plant is an internal combustion engine with 40 horsepower. The platform can carry up to 622 kilograms on land and up to 330 kilograms when moving on water. AGEMA can also tow a load of up to 544 kilograms.
The speed on land reaches up to 29 km/h, on water – up to 5 km/h.
AGEMA is designed to perform various tasks: logistics support, reconnaissance, evacuating the wounded from the battlefield, launching UAVs or fighting enemy drones, providing cellular communications and performing other humanitarian functions.
Earlier, Reuters, citing sources in the Pentagon, reported that the United States postponed until 2024 the decision to transfer to Ukraine adapted long-range GLSDB missiles, which have a range of about 160 km.
