Ukraine deploys robotic units to fight Russia

nypost.com

Ukrainian forces are deploying new robotic units called NRK Lyut, which means "fury" in Ukrainian. These robots are small, tank-like machines equipped with a 7.62 caliber machine gun. The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has approved their use on the frontlines against Russian troops. The NRK Lyut robots are remote-controlled and can operate day and night. They are designed to fit into military pickup trucks for easy transport. These machines have a silent electric motor that allows for longer operation times. They can handle challenging terrain and endure cold weather conditions. The robots will assist Ukrainian soldiers by conducting reconnaissance and providing firepower while keeping the troops safe. This is especially important in some of the war's most dangerous areas. Ukraine first showed off these robots last year, and they have since been tested in battle. This is not the first time robots have been used in the ongoing conflict. Last year, Ukraine introduced robot dogs capable of undertaking risky attacks. The war has seen both countries adapting to modern technology, including the use of advanced aerial drones. Recently, Russia launched a barrage of drones that impacted hospitals and disrupted power in Slovyansk, despite promises from President Putin to reduce such attacks.
