Here's What We Know
A video from the brigade's stand at the Defence Tech Innovations Forum 2025 exhibition was published by ArmyInform. The drone's design includes three frames with anti-tank mines inside.

According to the brigade's representative, this design allows not only to use the ammunition available in combat conditions as a moving element, but also to compensate for the lack of traditional wheels. At the same time, the driving characteristics of the device are somewhat inferior to conventional wheeled platforms due to the smaller surface contact area.
The low centre of mass provides the drone with additional stability when turning and overcoming obstacles. In total, three of these "self-propelled mines" are capable of inflicting significant losses on the enemy, destroying equipment and destroying fortifications.
