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.

Background:

  • On 27 December 2024, the Ukrainian Defence Ministry codified and approved the use of the Ukrainian-developed Ravlyk robotic platform for the Armed Forces.
  • On 13 February, the Defence Ministry authorised the use of various modifications of Spextr ground robotic systems in defence forces units.
