Quote: "The Liut robotic system has been tested in real combat conditions. The robot is armed with a 7.62 mm machine gun and additional equipment, allowing it to detect and strike targets both day and night."
Details: The Liut system is compact, allowing it to be transported in the back of a military pickup truck, and operates on a silent electric motor.
Its batteries provide extended operational time. Thanks to its high ground clearance, Liut can navigate difficult terrain with stability and functions effectively across a wide temperature range.
The operator controls the system from a secure position, avoiding direct exposure to danger. The robot's primary role is to support units and replace soldiers in the most dangerous situations.
