Defense Ministry clears Khyzhak combat module for service

The ministry has also codified the new Ukrainian-made system, formally adding it to the country’s arsenal.

Khyzhak has been certified for operational deployment in the Armed Forces and can be mounted either in a stationary position or on a mobile platform.

It is equipped with 7.62 mm machine guns that support both Soviet-type and NATO-standard ammunition. The remote module is capable of engaging targets at typical infantry combat distances.

Khyzhak can track and fire on ground or aerial targets across multiple axes. Its stabilized platform allows it to maintain accuracy even while moving.

The system is designed to enhance the effectiveness and safety of Ukrainian troops by allowing remote engagement of targets with minimal risk to its operators.
