UNIROBOTICS is part of the Samsun Yurt Savunma (SYS) group, which specialises in autonomous systems and robotics. CEO Omur Bach said that UNIROBOTICS will continue to develop high-tech solutions for the defence needs of Turkey and allied countries.
As a reminder, in November 2024, Ukraine commissioned the Tavria combat module equipped with a 14.5 mm KPVT machine gun. It is capable of automatically tracking targets, and its optoelectronic module can detect targets at a distance of more than 5 km day and night.
