Vepryk UGV has received integration with the Saber M2 turret

Ukrainian defence tech company Roboneers has integrated the remotely controlled Saber M2 turret onto the Vepryk unmanned ground vehicle from the eponymous design bureau. The UGV was upgraded at the request of a territorial defence brigade that wanted to use it for assault operations, Roboneers told Defender Media.

The developers modified the upper hull cover and the camera arch to install the turret. The Saber M2 is designed for 12.7 mm-calibre machine guns, including the Browning M2, Canik M2, and Ukrainian-made MG-50 QCB. In the future, the UGV will be able to integrate with other combat modules from the Saber family, that support various weapon types.

Beyond target engagement, Vepryk is suited for evacuation, logistics, and towing. The manufacturer states its nominal payload capacity is 300 kg, and its maximum is one tonne. The system has a range of up to 30 km, a speed of 6 km/h, and supports Starlink communications. The price of Vepryk on the Brave1 marketplace is UAH 1.1 million. The Saber M2 is listed there at UAH 660,000.

In February, the Saber M2 module also received an AI assistant. It can be used to search for information on the Saber’s structure and configuration, step-by-step repair instructions, and safe-use recommendations. The assistant has been integrated into the NeoLens application – a startup by Ostap Korkuna and James Leo that helps with the repair of ten types of equipment.
