Serbia unveiled its Miloš V1 tracked unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) during the Partner 2025 defense exhibition in Belgrade. The remotely operated system is armed with a 7.62 mm M86 machine gun, a 40 mm RBG 40/6 grenade launcher, and two short-range anti-tank rockets such as the M80 Zolja, enabling it to engage infantry and light armored targets while keeping operators at a safe distance.
The Miloš V1 weighs 670 kg, measures 1.7 m in length, 0.77 m in width, and 0.95 m in height, and can travel up to 10 km/h with an endurance of around three hours. Its zero-radius turning capability allows agile pivoting in urban areas, while its tracked design ensures mobility across rough terrain.
Its primary armament, the M86 machine gun, can be remotely fired using an electric trigger and has an effective range of roughly 1,000 meters. The RBG 40/6 grenade launcher fires standard NATO 40×46 mm grenades to about 375 meters, while the two disposable 64 mm anti-tank rockets provide additional armor-defeat capability. The turret is fully remote-controlled, with 360-degree rotation and day/night sensor systems including a thermal imager and a 2,000 m laser rangefinder, allowing accurate target detection and engagement under all conditions.
Serbia supports the platform with domestic production, maintenance, and ammunition supply capacity, and also manufactures the Komarac 2 loitering munition drone for extended-range anti-personnel and anti-vehicle missions.
Defense experts note that platforms like Miloš V1 act as force multipliers when paired with manned units, offering remote firepower, reconnaissance, and logistics support while reducing troop exposure. Although such UGVs are not yet replacements for manned forces, ongoing work in autonomy, resilient communications, and networked command is expected to expand their battlefield role in the coming years.
