Mamulashvili said he needs a fast, quiet vehicle to get sniper teams to a location where they can fire off shots for about five to 10 minutes, then quickly get out before the Russians rain artillery down on their position.

Built by a company called ELEEK in Ternopil, the Atom Military has a top speed of 90 kph, can travel up to 150 km on one five-hour charge and can carry up to 150 kg, according to the company. They have a motorcycle suspension, brakes and wheels “which allow them to be durable on the off-road.”

They even come with an optional USB for charging gadgets and a 220V socket so that additional heavy, bulky batteries aren’t needed.

“They have already managed to visit the hot spots, helping their owners successfully perform their tasks,” the company says on its Facebook page.

While the company doesn’t specify what those tasks are, a Ukrainian businessman trying to raise funds to field them says they have a wide range of uses.
