Australian manufacturer GaardTech sent robotic full-size mock-ups of Russian tanks to Germany.

What we know

The Bundeswehr has ordered armored vehicles for testing and live-fire training. The German armed forces received mock-ups of the T-72, T-90A and Russia's most advanced T-14 Armata tank. GaardTech states that the tank mockups are equipped with active thermal elements, radar combat emitters and passive radar signatures. The robotic tanks can move and simulate an attack.

It should be noted that the T-72, T-90A and T-14 "Armata" are not the only vehicles in the range of the company from Australia. The manufacturer has also developed robotic mock-ups of Russian BMP-3, BMD-4 and BTR-71 combat vehicles along with Chinese Type 99, Type-85 and Type-59 tanks.

GaardTech will continue to send mockups of Russian equipment to train allied forces in Europe. The corresponding $385,000 contract was signed in early 2022.
