The Ministry of Defense of Ukraine has officially codified and approved domestically developed Visliuk ground robotic system for operational use within the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The decision was announced by the Main Directorate for Support of the Life Cycle of Weapons and Military Equipment, emphasizing the platform's versatility and combat readiness.
Developed by a team of Ukrainian engineers in response to frontline military needs, the Visliuk system is a compact and highly mobile tracked robotic platform. It is powered by two silent electric motors and can be transported in a van or trailer. Its robust metal tracks enable it to navigate rough terrain, including mud, sand, and off-road conditions, while carrying up to 200 kg of payload. Additionally, the robot's towing power is sufficient to extract a stuck SUV, making it a valuable asset for evacuation missions.

The Visliuk system is modular and comes in various configurations tailored for logistics, evacuation, minelaying, and deploying barriers. It can also be fitted with communication relay towers, combat modules, or surveillance systems. Its control systems are resistant to electronic warfare, and it can optionally be equipped with a fiber-optic control module. Built for all-weather operation, the platform's battery allows for several hours of continuous use at maximum speed.
The introduction of Visliuk marks another step forward in Ukraine’s growing portfolio of battlefield robotics aimed at enhancing operational capabilities and reducing soldier exposure to frontline dangers.
As Defense Express previously reported, Ukraine has officially integrated the Droid TW 12.7 robotic combat system into its Armed Forces. This domestically developed unmanned ground vehicle (UGV) is designed to enhance battlefield capabilities while minimizing risks to personnel.
