German unmanned ground vehicle gets Ukrainian SABER weapon station
Germany's ARX Robotics and Ukrainian manufacturer Roboneers completed initial integration tests pairing the SABER remote weapon station with ARX's GEREON unmanned ground vehicle. The companies plan to begin fitting armed versions by the end of 2026, initially using configurations for an M2 .50-caliber machine gun and an MK 19 40-millimeter automatic grenade launcher. They say subsequent deliveries would respond to Ukrainian defense-force requirements but disclosed no quantity, contract value or frontline introduction date. The announcement is an integration and planned-equipping milestone, not confirmation that armed GEREONs are already operating in combat.
