In Ukraine, the domestically produced "Lyut" ground robotic complex (NRC) has been codified and put into operation in the units of the Defense Forces. It is designed to perform a wide range of tasks in difficult conditions, UNN writes with reference to the Ministry of Defense.
"Lyut" will be used for surveillance and fire support of Ukrainian units, the Main Department for Support of the Life Cycle of Armaments and Military Equipment said.
The Lyut robotic complex has been tested in real combat conditions. It is armed with a 7.62 caliber machine gun and additional equipment, thanks to which it is able to detect and destroy targets both day and night.
"The NRC is quite compact - it fits in the back of a military pickup truck, equipped with a silent electric motor. The battery capacity is enough for a long time of operation", - the Ministry of Defense said in a statement.
"Lyut" has a fairly high ground clearance, which allows it to move stably on terrain with difficult terrain. Also, this complex works in a wide range of temperatures.
During the combat mission, the operator controls the complex from a protected position, without putting himself in danger.
"The main task of ground robots is to strengthen our units and replace the soldier in the most dangerous areas", - the Ministry of Defense explained.
