The Ministry of Defense codified and approved for operation in the Armed Forces of Ukraine the ground robotic complex «Lyutik» on a tracked chassis.
The department notes that this is a Ukrainian-made drone with compact dimensions. This allows it to be transported on a car trailer or in the back of a military pickup truck or minibus. Despite its size, it can carry up to a quarter of a ton of cargo.
The NRC «Lyutik» has a sealed body, isolated from dust and moisture, and can operate in a wide range of ambient temperatures. The traction force of the electric motor and the tracked chassis allow it to move off-road, over swamps, sandbanks, and overcome shallow ditches and low vertical obstacles.
The «Lyutik» drone can perform a wide range of tasks. Among them: transporting cargo, personnel, evacuating the wounded, etc. The complex can also be used as a mobile platform for combat modules.
Also, recently, the 3rd Separate Assault Brigade conducted the first-ever successful confirmed assault on enemy positions using only aerial and ground drones. Operators from the DEUS EX MACHINA company even managed to capture prisoners using a ground-based robotic complex.
The Armed Forces of Ukraine have received Ukrainian TERMIT unmanned ground systems, which can be equipped with Browning machine guns or Starlink terminals
