Evidence & current status
MoD establishes use/testing and adoption. UFORCE's page gives differing 12/10 and 11/9 km/h speed pairs and 7/10 km digital-link claims, so definitive speed/control distance is omitted.
LIUT, also transliterated Lyut, is a Ukrainian ground robotic system for observation and armed support. Ukraine's Ministry of Defence announced codification and adoption in March 2025, explicitly stating that the system had been tested in combat conditions. UFORCE now presents LIUT as part of its land-platform portfolio, providing a direct supplier identity alongside the earlier government announcement.
The ministry describes an electric vehicle compact enough for transport in a military pickup. UFORCE advertises remote digital and satellite communications, day/night cameras and optional mission equipment. Its descriptions of assisted sensing and a weapon module should not be read as evidence that the entire vehicle operates without human supervision. The official account describes operator control.
The supplier's page contains inconsistent speed and digital-link figures in different sections. Those values are not reconciled by selecting the largest number. Battery travel distances are retained as supplier claims for the stated configuration, without implying a radius for a complete mission. Family-level military use is documented; production totals and the dates of specific updated configurations require further evidence.
