The worlds first Hybrid Unmanned Ground Vehicle Made in Estonia







A unique, multipurpose UGV (unmanned ground vehicle) will be the first vehicle of its kind to use ultracapacitor technology. The high power cells from record-breaking manufacturer Skeleton Technologies will be used to deliver greatly increased energy efficiency and product reliability. The hybrid UGV has been developed by Estonian defence solutions provider Milrem, a company specialising in military engineering, repair and maintenance.

Unlike existing UGVs it provides a universal platform for any application from communication relay to medevac, lifting platform to fire-fighting. This plug-and-play capability is made possible by housing all equipment inside the vehicle’s tracks. The multipurpose UGV can be used for a wide range of defence requirements including reconnaissance and observer missions, targeting weapon systems and providing support solutions such as medical supplies. The universal platform allows operators to optimise their vehicle fleet and reduce life cycle management costs with simplified maintenance and spare supplies. With energy consumption becoming an increasing concern in the defence sector, the Milrem UGV was designed to be as efficient as possible. A highly sophisticated control unit regulates energy flow between the diesel generator, electric motors and Skeleton Technologies’ ultracapacitors.

 This system reduces overall energy consumption by 25–40%. The ultracapacitors also ensure reliability by starting the vehicle in cold conditions or after prolonged periods in storage. Kuldar Väärsi, Chairman of the Board at Milrem, explains why they chose to work with Skeleton Technologies: “Firstly we chose these ultracapacitors for their performance; we knew they would deliver the efficiency and reliability we required. But we also liked the company’s approach to working alongside their customers to develop new products and new ideas.” Ultracapacitors are a highly efficient form of energy storage that are able to provide very high currents of power. Skeleton Technologies’ cells can also charge and discharge millions of times, offering lifetimes up to 500 times longer than batteries. Crucially for applications in colder climates, the technology can operate in temperatures as low as -65 °C.

“We are proud to have worked with Milrem for our first deployment in the defence sector,” explains Skeleton Technologies Chief Executive Officer, Taavi Madiberk. “From powering space shuttles with the European Space Agency to ensuring cold weather start in trucks, the range of applications for our high-power technology is increasing all the time.” The first prototype of the Milrem multipurpose UGV will be unveiled in London at Europe’s leading defence and security event, DSEI 2015 which runs from 15 to 18 September. Milrem can be found at stand N3-362. skeletontech.com

Estonian and Lithuanian puppets


Walk straight into NATO Trap.

Belarus seems to be the is the only sensible state for now.

There should be no doubt as to who the BOSS is in Eastern Europe.

US Mission to NATO Tweets - A-10 Thunderbolt II attack aircraft Ämari Air Base, Estonia


Estonia the next puppet

4 Warthogs - thats huge

Victoria Nuland will come back to distribute cookies once the Americans fly away.








Russian cities of Moscow and St Petersberg are not far away from Estonian border with flat lands and jungles in between.

Estonia is about 2 hrs from St Petersberg and 11 hrs from Moscow.

American M1A2 tanks stationed in Estonia 100 km from Russian border


Estonia inviting Putin to kick their ....


American are just trying to provoke Putin sitting on Estonian shoulders.

We just see 2 M1As here, the moment 100s of Russian tanks cross the Estonian border, American Putin hecklers will run with tails between their legs.

US govt is bankrupt to fight new wars.

NATO to Conduct Steadfast Javelin Military Exercise in Estonia This Month




 NATO's Steadfast Javelin cooperative military exercise is set to get underway later this month in Estonia, the chief of staff of the country's Defense Forces said.The goal of the NATO drills, being run simultaneously with the large-scale Spring Storm international military exercises, is to practice the consolidated command of military operations of Estonian and allied troops.The exercises will be led by the Allied Joint Force Command in Brunssum, the Netherlands, whose officers arrived in Estonia on Thursday.

“The decision of the Operational Command at Brunssum shows the significance of the Spring Storm exercises, and also strong support of the allies of the Estonian troops and the whole region,” said the Estonian Defense Forces’ Chief of General Staff Maj. Gen. Riho Terras.“The planned NATO drills will give a great impetus to the development of our defense and give a possibility to the Spring Storm to become one of the most important exercises in the region,” he added.This year’s Spring Storm involves over 6,000 troops and a record number of military units of NATO allies, including infantry from the Duke of Lancaster's Regiment, soldiers from Latvia, troops from the 173rd Airborne Brigade Combat Team of the US army, as well as military personnel from Lithuania.

In addition, three Polish Sukhoi Su-22 attack aircraft will take part in the drills. The exercise also involves anti-aircraft personnel from Belgium and a group of French cyber defense experts will participate for the first time.The Spring Storm drills have been held annually in different parts of Estonia since 2003. Estonia, as well as two other ex-Soviet republics in the Baltic Region, Latvia and Lithuania, joined NATO in March 2004.
