NRC “Lyut”: Ukrainian Units Will be Strengthened by a New Soldier-Robot

Wednesday, March 19th, 2025

The Ministry of Defense codified and allowed the domestically produced ground robotic complex “Lyut” to be operated in the units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine. It is designed to perform a wide range of tasks in difficult conditions. In particular, to conduct surveillance and fire support for the actions of our units. This was reported by the Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment.

The robotic complex “Lyut” has been tested in real combat conditions. The robot is armed with a 7.62 caliber machine gun and additional equipment, thanks to which it can detect and hit targets both day and night. The NRC is quite compact – it fits in the body of a military pickup truck, equipped with a silent electric motor. The capacity of the batteries is enough for a fairly long time of operation. The NRC has a fairly high clearance, which allows you to move steadily on terrain with difficult terrain. “Fury” works at a wide range of temperatures.

The operator controls the complex from a protected position without being exposed to danger. The main task of ground robots is to strengthen our units and replace the soldier in the most dangerous areas.

We remind the manufacturers of military equipment that useful information on the procedure for codification of new types of weapons and military equipment can be found here.
