Ukrainian forces to soon receive the first batch of Gyurza-02 armored vehicles with AI-driven target recognition.

At the IDEX 2025 defense exhibition in Abu Dhabi, UkrArmoTech introduced the Gyurza-02, also known as UAT.GYURZA-02, a 4x4 armored combat vehicle designed for personnel transportation, reconnaissance, patrolling, and fire support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other defense formations. The first batch of Gyurza-02 vehicles is scheduled for delivery to the Armed Forces of Ukraine in March 2025 for deployment in combat missions. During the exhibition, UkrArmoTech engaged with foreign buyers expressing interest in procurement, but the company remains focused on establishing production in Ukraine and supplying the Ukrainian military before considering exports.

The Gyurza-02, an upgraded version of the previous Gyurza model, is built on a specialized chassis developed for UkrArmoTech, ensuring off-road mobility and urban maneuverability. The vehicle features NATO AEP-55 STANAG 4569 Level 2 ballistic protection, with the capacity to withstand armor-piercing incendiary rounds of 7.62×39 mm (STANAG 4569 Level 2) and 7.62×54 mm (STANAG 4569 Level 3). The hull resists detonation from a 155 mm high-explosive shell at 80 meters, while the reinforced V-shaped underbody provides mine protection against explosions of up to 8 kg (STANAG 4569 Level 3).

The vehicle is powered by a 6.7-liter Cummins ISDe turbo diesel engine producing 385 horsepower, allowing a maximum speed of 110 km/h. The curb weight is approximately 14,000±200 kg, with a full weight of 16,000±200 kg. It has an automatic transmission with six forward gears and one reverse gear (Allison 3000), independent suspension with double wishbones, a reinforced drivetrain, a central tire inflation control system, and RUN-FLAT tires (365/80R20, 395/80R20). The braking system consists of a two-tube pneumatic system with disc brakes.

The vehicle integrates counter-drone and anti-mine systems, based on feedback from operational deployment of previous vehicles from the company. Its onboard electronic warfare (EW) suite operates within the 150–1030 MHz range to disrupt FPV drones. Additional steel screens and protective grids reduce the impact of shaped-charge munitions. The FlyOff FPV detection system can be integrated, operating in the 1000–6000 MHz range, identifying threats at a minimum distance of 1.5 km.

The Gyurza-02 is equipped with a remotely operated combat module, developed by UkrArmoTech in cooperation with Ukrainian Defense Technologies, featuring an M2 Browning 12.7 mm machine gun with a 300-round ammunition capacity. The turret includes optical-electronic targeting, an automatic fire control system, automatic target tracking, a laser rangefinder, and imaging for day and night operations. The turret's dimensions are 850 mm in height, 1700 mm in length, and 1225 mm in width, with a total weight of 370 kg (450 kg including weaponry and fire control systems).

The Gyurza-02 accommodates up to 11 personnel. The crew compartment is positioned centrally, with the engine in the front and the troop section at the rear. The vehicle is equipped with five-point safety harnesses, blast-resistant damping mechanisms, and individual weapon and ammunition storage. It has five armored doors, each exceeding 300 kg in weight, firing ports, and two emergency roof hatches for crew evacuation. The ballistic glass meets STANAG 4569 L2/L3 standards. The vehicle features a multi-sensor surveillance system with 360° observation cameras, infrared detection, and night vision capabilities. The battlefield vision system integrates artificial intelligence and augmented reality, processing data from 12 day and night vision cameras. It detects human targets at up to 200 meters, vehicles at 400 meters, and anti-tank mines at 20 meters. A smoke screen deployment system synchronized with laser warning sensors can be installed.

The fire suppression system operates independently in the engine bay, crew compartment, and wheel wells. The vehicle includes an air filtration and ventilation system for protection against hazardous substances. A military-grade communication system and infrared driving assistance support battlefield operations. The fuel system consists of a primary 250±10 liter tank and an auxiliary 100±5 liter tank, providing a range of up to 1000 km in off-road conditions. The 4x4 drivetrain enhances traction in varied terrain.

UkrArmoTech states that the Gyurza-02's development is based on operational data from combat deployments. Over the past year, the company has delivered hundreds of Gyurza vehicles, collecting performance feedback to refine the design. The Gyurza-02 incorporates improvements in protection, crew comfort, maintenance efficiency, and modular adaptability. Additional variants, including medical evacuation and command versions, are in development. The design modifications aim to enhance operational capabilities and facilitate field maintenance.
