The system operates in two modes: manual when the operator controls it and automatic when the platform moves along a given route at a specially determined speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The complex is equipped with a silent electric motor and low-pressure all-terrain tires. These ensure high cross-country ability over off-road terrain, mud, and shallow water obstacles. Even in case of damage, the tires allow the platform to continue moving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The D-21 is designed to perform logistics tasks, such as transporting food, ammunition, military equipment, and evacuation of the wounded. The complex can be equipped with a remote combat module and a machine gun, which allows it to perform fire support tasks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The robotic complex is
