"Krampus MK II": Stand on the stone, get up on the horse ...

   "Ostara, led by Darius Antanaitis, a major of the Lithuanian Army Reserve and an armaments enthusiast, has been working on the unique Krampus diesel-electric car for special purposes for several years.

    "Our hybrid Krampus has been designed to perform very peaceful tasks: working on the environment, controlling borders, and mining. But Russia has changed the world. And peace technologies must be able to be adapted for defense. And here the technologies we have developed can make a very serious contribution,” - says D. Antanaitis. According to him, the work of the first stage has been completed - a demonstration prototype "Krampus MK I", which can be controlled remotely, has been created - and the development of "Krampus MK II", which will be able to operate autonomously, is now starting.

 

    Illustrating such a scenario, the creators of the car shared a video: According to D. Antanaitis, the hybrid Krampus drive ensures a quiet approach to the fire positions. "Autonomy would allow not to send your troops to a dangerous place, because Krampus can enter the positions independently - or remotely. Fire detection at the target is also performed remotely. After completing the fire mission, Krampus would return to pick up the troops on his own and then go on a new mission or fill up with ammunition for another mission,” -describes the Ostara boss."
