Dozens of M1A1 Abrams tanks from Australia are on their way to Ukraine to fight in the ongoing war, while Milrem is set to supply Ukraine more route clearance Tracked Hybrid Modular Infantry System (THeMIS) uncrewed ground vehicles (UGVs).
Milrem Robotics is to supply six THeMIS UGVs to France’s CNIM (Constructions Navales et Industrielles de la Méditerranée) Systèmes Industriels to be integrated with route clearance systems. They are to join seven other systems already in service in Ukraine in the same role with 15 THeMIS in total already in service in Ukraine.
